Hello again everyone!\u00a0 We have been in Santa Fe for a little over a week now.\u00a0 Today is a rainy, cold, windy day and we’re sitting by the fire (love it), having a cup of Peppermint Tea (are we the most exciting people ever!! \ud83d\ude42 ) so I thought I would catch you\u00a0 up with our visit in Santa Fe.<\/p>\n

We’ve enjoyed our time in Santa Fe.\u00a0 We’ve only done one hike here so far, we’re hoping to get one in tomorrow if the rain stops.\u00a0 We leave here in two days to head north to Taos and Angel Fire.\u00a0 It’s snowing there today!\u00a0 We loved the hike we did, Nambe Lake.\u00a0 It started at about 10,100 feet and went up to about 11,300 feet.\u00a0 Beautiful trail, in the mountains, up to a beautiful frozen lake.\u00a0 There was about 4 inches of fresh snow on the ground.\u00a0 It was about 7.5 miles round trip and we loved it.\u00a0 That’s the good news.\u00a0 The bad news:\u00a0 a) somehow our pictures on our phones at the frozen lake all turned out in black and white.\u00a0 On both our phones.\u00a0 Don’t know what happened.\u00a0 We were so excited to get back and look at our pictures and found that when we got to the lake, they all are black and white or some monochrome color setting.\u00a0 The were in color up until then….I don’t think we are meant to be picture taking people!!!\u00a0 The bad news:\u00a0 b)\u00a0 there was this beautiful stream, clear water babbling over stones for much of our hike.\u00a0 Couldn’t resist drinking the water.\u00a0 We did this often in Alaska with no problem.\u00a0 Well, by that evening, Steve was sick, and has had a fever and tummy trouble for 3 days now.\u00a0 I didn’t get sick, but I only drank a small amount of the water, Steve drank a lot.\u00a0 Note to self:\u00a0 do not drink the water no matter how clean and beautiful it looks!\u00a0 We have since learned livestock live on that mountain in the summer.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude41\u00a0 Hard to tell what was in that water!\u00a0 Lots of pictures of our hike in the link below.<\/p>\n

We also have caught up with a high school friend of Steve’s, Chris, who lives in Santa Fe with her husband.\u00a0 They were friends all through high school, college and early adult life, but lost track of each other after Chris moved to San Francisco then Santa Fe.\u00a0 She is head of retail operations for several museums in Santa Fe.\u00a0 We had lunch with her one day, and just as we were sitting down, I got a phone call from doggy daycare.\u00a0 It was Gerry’s first visit to the local doggy daycare, and since it was a rainy day, they were playing inside.\u00a0 He caught his dew claw on the indoor turf, and tore it off.\u00a0 So after lunch we were off to the vet.\u00a0 He tore it clean off, so it just needed a bandage and he also got a cute little bootie that kept it dry and clean outside.\u00a0 He’s feeling just fine, got the bandage off the other day and got to go back to daycare for the fun he missed the first time!<\/p>\n

We had dinner with Chris and her husband also, at a great local restaurant that has been here for many years.\u00a0 They are both so nice and it was fun to get to know them.\u00a0 Catching up with friends and family as we travel is one of the benefits of this RV lifestyle.<\/p>\n

We’ve been tourists here too.\u00a0 They have a great Farmer’s Market here, twice a week, and we’ve been both days.\u00a0 I can report the local vendors revenue has increased significantly due to our visit!\u00a0 It’s one of the best farmer’s markets we’ve been too, and we took full advantage and stocked up on lots of great things.\u00a0 We’ve visited a couple of museums, walked around the historical plaza, and visited San Miguel Chapel, the oldest church in America.\u00a0 It was built in the early 1600’s.\u00a0 Santa Fe is an “artsy” kind of town.\u00a0 Lots of public art along the streets and in the parks, galleries everywhere and vendors selling jewelry, art, pottery and all kinds of crafts everywhere.\u00a0 We’ve enjoyed browsing and buying a few gifts.<\/p>\n

Chili peppers – they are a big deal here!\u00a0 And it’s harvest season so they are everywhere!\u00a0 We’ve sampled many – they roast them in these big roasters everywhere.\u00a0 They are good, and I’ve been adding them to my cooking too.<\/p>\n

No, we did not make it to the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque.\u00a0 We had planned to, and even had a reservation at an RV park outside Albuquerque that we cancelled.\u00a0 We just weren’t sure it was going to be worth all the trouble…big crowds, have to be there at sunrise, weather not great.\u00a0 In fact, our RV neighbors here in Santa Fe made the drive (over an hour each way) twice to see the balloons take off only to have it cancelled each day due to weather…maybe we’ll make it another time when we’re out this way again.<\/p>\n

So that’s what we’ve been up to here in Santa Fe.\u00a0 We’re off to Taos and Angel Fire in a couple of days, and Samantha will visit us in Angel Fire for a few days.\u00a0 Then, our friends Shawn and Julie are coming to visit.\u00a0 Can’t wait to see them all and I’m sure we’ll have lots to share from their visits.\u00a0 In the meantime, it’s still raining here and I’m going to get another cup of tea.\u00a0 Hope you enjoy the pictures!<\/p>\n
