Nov 9-10th
Sante Fe, New Mexico
Heading south across the dry desert plains passing small scrubby towns, we eventually hit scenic byways to the small adobe-style town of Taos and onto touristy, yet classy, Santa Fe. We spent our coldest night yet in the National Forest outside Santa Fe; we awoke to a temperature of -10C! Crazy! A stream that had been flowing when we arrived the night before was frozen solid! We warmed up at a balmy 8 to 10 degC exploring Santa Fe's down town. The adobe architecture was cool and funky and we couldn't stop taking photos. Canyon Road - the arty farty part of town was filled with galleries that were super sophisticated yet set in buildings with lots of adobe character. The street was choc-a-bloc with weird and funky sculptures inside and out, not to mention some really amazing (and pricey paintings and native Indian artifacts. Would love to come back sometime and spend days exploring the art scene. Pretty cool! * Mush
