Route 66 Road Trip: Day Four

This can't really be called a road trip day, nor will tomarrow. We are staying 3 nights in Santa Fe. But it's such a neat place that I will share my day as well. I have to say to start that the Inn at Lorretto has the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. And from my window I can see snow on the surrounding hills. Fortunately for us the sun was out so the cold didn't feel quite as cold.

We started the day at the cafe on the main square. It's a great basic diner, with a Southwest flare. I had blue corn enchiladas and my friend had Papas Fritas, which is potatoes in chili sauce with eggs. So good! We really just went from shop to shop..shopping! But the stores are all so fun! I also love to browse through the items brought in by the Indians in front of the Palace Museum. They are really artisans with beautiful jewelry. Not bargins either.

We did have a bit of culture, we went to the Georgia O'Keefe museum. Which is nice and small, so you can enjoy it in a leisurely manner. When we were there it was even smaller as they only had a part of it open, but we got a nice selection. After our culture, we stopped at the Holy Spirit Espresso and had some tea and relaxed in the sun for a bit.

Really not much else to tell..we were just repeating the morning. We had delicious soup and chips and salsa for lunch by the fire in our hotel and then went to The Shed for dinner. It was my friend's birthday! Cheesecake for everyone!

We saved time for a glass of wine by that same fire before bed...and are ready for tomarrow.
