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!!!
This is such a manageable city and we are lucky to have bicycles provided at our casita, so we can avoid paying for parking and cycle to the shuttle or into town and do the rest on foot. There are so many interesting museums that we’re going to buy a pass for four of them – to start with. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at La Taberna Boca, but unfortunately I broke a filling on a piece of hidden crab shell! Which means a visit to the dentist tomorrow – ugh!
photos from a quick visit to The Railyard district which is close to home.
The Cathedral Place area, St. Francis Cathedral, and Loretto Chapel with its “miraculous” staircase. The statue of the lovely Indian lady is of Katerina Tekakwitha, 1656-1680, first Indian of North America to be promoted a saint.
Views from Fort Marcy park.
An easy drive from Payson to Santa Fe and we were excited to see our little casita, get unpacked and go eat some good Mexican food (at Cafe Castro).
