Santa Fe, NM

Nana and Papa did a little getaway trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico from the 17th to today. We stayed at the La Posada de Santa Fe - very cool! It's located right in the old downtown area so we walked everywhere. See the photo captions below for the various places we visited. What sparked this trip was Lynn spotting a Santa Fe Desert Chorale concert at the Basilica which, by the way, turned out to be magnificent. There was lingering snow on the ground since before we got here, but highs in the 40s and low 50s made things very comfortable with a jacket. By the way, Raton, NM is just about halfway in between Santa Fe and Colorado Springs, but we found several closed lunch spots. We had a nice little lunch both ways at Pappas Sweet Shop. All the photos are here.


La Plazuela restaurant at the La Fonda hotel

The Plaza was very well lit for Christmas!

The Shed offered very authentic local foods.

IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts

All manner of great sculpture along Canyon Road.

Geronimo is a great restaurant on Canyon Road.
We took a chance with a Joseph Carr wine from Paso Robles.
Quite good, especially given its affordability.

Coyote Cafe. Also a super place to have dinner.
