Visiting Santa Fe



Our son has flown in from Boston for a week's visit, and we're all spending a few days in Santa Fe. Jeff drove our car up from Las Cruces while Nancy, the cats, and I drove up in our RV. Yesterday we spent a few hours strolling down Canyon Road and poking our heads into the fancy galleries where the sculptures and paintings run a little on the pricey side. For example, you can have a beautiful bronze sculpture of a family of donkeys for only $85,000.

Today we took a look at Madrid and Cerrillos, two small towns on the Turquoise Trail. Here are some doodads created by a Madrid artist out of recycled materials:

And here is the Catholic church in Cerrillos:

  1. Nice town 60 years ago, when I worked there. I expect it's grown. Did you get to Tesuque? That's where I lived.

  2. I love the top pic of the archway of books with the child reading a book on the top. Very sweet.

  3. I remember Santa Fe! Yes, many over-priced art galleries. But a cool town!
