We did the Oregon Trail, so now we're on the Santa Fe Trail. Hitting the home stretch, halleluliah. I could love Santa Fe if it wasn't so full of tourists. We enjoyed a late lunch at Tomasita's the "most famous" New Mexican restaurant in SF. The building is the old depot for the Denver &Rio Grande railroad, and the food was excellent. Afterwards we parked a couple of blocks from the Plaza and walked around old town Santa Fe. We started with the Georgia O'Keeffe museum where we learned about her life as an artist and saw many of her works that normally are in private collections. We then wandered past the history museum, where native artists are encouraged to set up shop along the paseo in front of the building. Lots of beautiful jewelry. Lots more in the shops lining the streets, and I was tempted but not in a spending mood today. The plaza has a bandstand where there are free concerts each evening during July and August. We listened to the first group, which was great, but decided to leave after that. Too tired. Tomorrow's destination will depend on how tired we Re and how far we feel like driving.
