Erin French, proprietor, decorator, hostess, and cook is an artiste! Her restaurant officially opened with a 5-course meal in the beautifully renovated Freedom Mill, and it was flawless! Each item on the table had been carefully thought out, and each course lovingly prepared using the freshest of ingredients and cooked to perfection. I can’t wait it go back!

They are back on the east coast
Kat, Ian, Peter, Greyson, Colby, Lincoln and Moxie arrived back in Maine on Friday night – after three-and-a-half years absence. It’s good to have them here for a couple of weeks before they move to New Jersey.
Two extremes
We took a run out to Santo Domingo Pueblo – I was hoping to find some jewelry makers ‘open’, but no luck. Will stop over at the Plaza tomorrow where the portico of the Governor’s Palace is lined with amazing, licensed jewelers and artists. Photos are discouraged in the pueblo, but these are stealth-on the move shots.
We then drove to Canyon Road, the renowned ‘high end gallery strip’ in Santa Fe. The sculptures on display are amazing and, needless to say, there was n0 point delving too deeply into the galleries. – other than to view. The road itself is charming with the traditional adobe buildings.
We had to return to Jambo’s, the African restaurant we went to last week, for another amazing meal. I love that place!
The piece de la resistance was our first attempt at a memorable New Mexico sunset. We have seen beautiful sunsets all over the country, at home, and around the world, but I really wanted to experience one here!
Variety is the spice of life
The farmer’s market at Santa Fe’s Railyard district was fun – especially seeing the different types of beans and chili powders. Finished off the New Mexico History Museum at Governor’s Palace.
Sunday took us to Albuquerque to the Indian Cultural Center to see some native dances and view other exhibits, plus have a delicious lunch at their cafe and bakery.
Monday we took to the hiking trails in the mountains north of Santa Fe searching for some geocaches – success 3/3!!!
