Day 9 – Santa Fe

It was a pleasant day that turned into a really hot afternoon. The sun here is a killer. We left the RV park at 10, catching a city bus right across the street. We got all day passes for only a $1 each – senior rate! It took about 20 minutes to get to the Plaza. We wandered around a little bit and went to brunch at Café Pasquals. We got right in despite reading about long lines. Bill had a chorizo burrito and I had a breakfast quesadilla. Mine was quite delicious. They also had some yummy looking strawberry jam on the table so we ordered some toast. The toast was amazing whole grain bread that they make on site.

Stuffed, we walked to Loretto Chapel which has the “miraculous” stairway. What makes it miraculous is that it is 20 ‘ high and makes two complete revolutions with only the support from the floor and the balcony. It was a pretty church with a lovely rose stained-glass window. From there we walked next door to the Trolley stop to get the 12:00 tour of Santa Fe. It was full, and we appeared to be the youngest ones on the trolley. We had an hour and a half tour of Santa Fe, Canyon Road where all the art galleries are, and Museum Hill where many museums are located. It was just a tad bit too hot for both of us. We got some water on our return and tried to rehydrate.

We took the city bus back to the RV park and cooled off. All the electrical systems seem to be working. After a break we went to Wal-Mart to fill up our water jugs, but they had no filling center. Boo!! At night it cools down to a delightful temperature, so we can sit outside and relax.
