New Mexico (Day 5 of 6): Santa Fe




Breakfast at our hotel in Santa Fe





After breakfast we walked a few blocks west to the Santa Fe Railyard




Santuario de Guadalupe





Describing the Rosary to Adam. There were a bunch of stone inlays inscribed with the rosary prayer names.













 
The El Camino Real is a historic 1600 mile trade route from Mexico

We continued our nice walk and Derek showed us where he ran the day before and then we headed back to our hotel
 
We took a nice drive across town to Museum Hill


Historic Santa Fe Trail








Randall Davey Audubon Center


 





















 
Looking at all the galleries on Canyon Road





Heading back to our hotel
 
Nice walk to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum













Walking around Santa Fe Plaza





 
Cathedral Basilica of St Francis of Assisi






















Loretto Chapel







Palace of the Governors circa 1610


 



We had hoped to have an early dinner at The Shed but they didn't open for another hour and then they were booked solid


We decided to walk back toward our hotel and eat at the Cowgirl Barbecue we had seen on our morning walk. I had read good things about it.






We blinked and Adam had downed this warm creamy bowl of chicken strips and mac and cheese. He had a big smile and said "it was really good".


"The Mother" green chile cheeseburger






Everything was great - ambiance, food, service and Derek was in a sharing mood so we had some good conversation





Our last night in Santa Fe before heading back home the next day on Thanksgiving


Shop with pretty stuff on the walk back to our hotel
