Where are we today?
Santa Fe, NM
Our trip into Santa Fe was most enjoyable. We wandered around the town centre looking at all the lovely adobe buildings, wandering the streets around the central plaza. We saw the Palace of the Governors, the Basilica of St Francis, Georgia O'Keefe Gallery and then had a lovely lunch at Cafe Pasqual's. I had a Breakfast Quesadilla and Michael had the Smoked Trout Hash. Very nice.
After lunch we jumped back in the car and headed north on I 25 to Pecos National Historical Park. This is a place where there are ruins of an old Indian adobe pueblo and ruins of an old Catholic Church.
Here are an assortment of our pictures from today. (Can you believe that we both forgot to take a photo of the Palace of the Governors).
Firstly Santa Fe - I just love the architecture.

Great pictures once again. But I certainly don't need a sign to tell me to avoid rattlesnakes. The wording on that sign just cracked me up.
ReplyDeleteWe really enjoyed Santa Fe. We loved San Miguel Mission.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of Pecos National Historical Park. Never visited that area.
another wonderful area to stay and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bunch of pictures... what do you use for internet to get all them posted??? Sante Fe looks like a great spot to be a tourist...
ReplyDeleteWe had quite good internet at the RV park and we also have unlimited internet on my Verizon cell phone, which I have set up as a wifi hotspot using an app called FoxFi. Works great on the road. I have AllStays app called Camp and RV and it shows me upcoming things like gas stations, rest areas, RV parks, Overnight Parking, Walmarts and a whole host of other stuff. Also available for Android tablets. In my opinion a must for all RVers.
DeleteWonderful post.. I think I like the ruins and the countryside better than the city stuff. Looks like you had a nice time exploring the area (with NO snakes!)
