Santa Fe

We had a grueling 38 mile trip up to Santa Fe yesterday:-)  The skies had cleared and it was the normal clear blue skies with almost unlimited visibility that makes us smile.  Can't forget the pleasant 15-20 mph gentle breezes though.  We had salad for dinner to make up, hardly, for our incredible dining of the previous few days.  Settled in at perhaps the best site in Santa Fe Skies RV Park with unencumbered views of the city in the distance, and of course the mountains behind, still frosted with snow.  The sunset was awesome, and we went to bed with the glittering of the city lights in the distance, and most importantly NO lights in the campground.  Oh yeah!

Then we launched off first thing in the morning

at 0700am for the Pantry, one of our favorite little dining spots for a fantastic breakfast, Huevos Rancheros with green chili for me, and Bread pudding french toast for Jan.  Completely satisfied we went to find a hike, and settled on a nice little 1.8 mile loop in the Sangre de Cristo foothills north of Santa Fe.  It was great. Our 1.8 mile hike morphed into a 3.77 mile delight.  It was so peaceful and beautiful, and I guess all our walking paid off, cause even the altitude of 7000' or so didn't bother us.  But I will admit by the end, these Florida flat walkers could feel a bit of the hills in our legs:-)  

Off we go

Pretty with flowers

Don't know what these wildflowers are, but
they were everywhere

We came back, got cleaned up and went back into town for a few errands, and of course a quick bite at El Parasol, basically a walk up and order all cash kind of joint with really good tacos.  So after a chicken taco and a chicken tamale we were on our way.  

No the tires are still not paid for.
