3011 Cerrillos Road Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States, 87507, 505-471-1211
Ice all over the roof of the car this morning. The balmy days of southern Texas are long gone. But so is the ice storm from where we are, even though Oklahoma City is still in its tail and it stretches all the way to Chicago. Turns out, we are not fans of the Travelodge at Amarillo. After yesterday's toilet episode, their "free wireless broadband" turns out to not exist and not even our dog would tuck into the complimentary breakfast. So we pack up early and hit the road, heading straight for...
Santa fe, New Mexico, United States cdcassA pity to disappear from Santa Fe without learning something, so we decide to hang around for a day and explore. Its not really a kids city (lots of galleries, cozy B&B-type lodging - not sure about the restaurant scene). But it is pretty cool with everyone at least attempting some type of adobe construction, whether it be a private house, a motel or a fast food chain. Some of the interpretations are a bit of a shambles, but some attempts are very impressive. Downtown looks great, althoug...

... with it a wonderful and vibrant market. Now you can stay in the heart of Santa Fe, shop at the market for fresh food, and prepare your own meal if you stay at a short term rental unit like the units that are available at El Corazon De Santa Fe for example. Whether your interest is the opera, arts, good food or simply the great outdoors, a visit to Santa Fe is one you will not regret.

Santa Fe, United States sabregen... Mission Church. It was built in 1610. The wall behind the alter is unbelievable. Another candle, more prayers. Then another hike over to see the Loretto Chapel and it’s "miraculous staircase". It is a spiral staircase with no visible means of support. An anonymous carpenter built it in 1878. No pictures allowed, but I did get a postcard.
Then I walked around some more, browsing the shops. Most of ...
... discovered that the monument is not accurate. But who cares. Then down the road to Shiprock, N.M., Tony Hillerman and Jim Chee country. Didn't see Jim anywhere though.
Back in New Mexico and back to seeing oil wells. They are everywhere. And casinos are everywhere out here. I saw three today. Not the big ones that we have back home, very small. But I managed to control myself and passed them by. I had more problems ...
... But I am sure Holbroke population 11,000 is a lovely place, probably. We stopped near there to visit the Petrified forest, it wasn´t hyped much in the book so didn´t expect much. However the views were amazing in the park. Quick lesson for you all, petrified wood is actually wood that has absorbed the sediment around it over thousands of years turning the tree into a solid rock of many minerals. Or something like that. Anyway the ´trees ...
Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States jttours... off, lights off, computers unplugged, packed...and out the door we went.
The Lodge is situated on the top of a hill, on the North side of Santa Fe, and the world famous Square is visible from the front of the property, but it's not within walking distance (like we had originally planned). I did not realize this until Friday when I asked my co-workers for things to check out in Santa Fe, and about where we were staying (yes, for those ...
... italien que Volsu m'a chaudement recommandé! Les patrons sont italiens et ont vécu en Suisse! J'y suis accueillie comme une amie du pays! Les ravioli sont succulents et le vin passe très bien! comme j'ai préféré rester sur la terrasse pour manger, le patron vient me chercher pour les cafés et me "tire" littéralement à l'intérieur :"il y a plus d'ambiance" me dit-il et m'installe au bar! Face à un très, très charmant barman ...
Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States heritia8... into the area. We figured that would be a good time to take a nighttime stroll of downtown Santa Fe. We quickly put on our shoes and set off for our walk. The night brought out very interesting qualities in the old town. The coming storm had chased most of the people off of the streets, so the area was slightly desolate. Yet, the lack of people only heightened the presence of Old Town’s ghosts. One could feel the presence of history mixed ...
