This morning we drove 58 miles along an old alignment of 66 to Santa Fe for some art and culture.......Santa Fe is a tiny place.... 75,000 is all. There isn't even an airport for a state capitol! The center plaza has all kinds of things going...and lots of hawking of jewelry! The St Francis Cathedral and all the other buildings are adobe. That would include all town buildings, new housing developments, and even the state capitol (only flat roofed capitol building in the US)! We even saw the oldest public building in the US. EVERYTHING is VERY expensive here ...even gas was $3.59 a gallon. The even pricier galleries encircled the plaza. We thought you could easily eat and gallery yourself into oblivion. Larry found Mexican food on the street and his new best friends Roque and Tomaso. They made the MOST delicious cheese and jalapino tamales!!
By late afternoon we had turquoise overkill, and we drove south on the old 66 to Albuquerque and photographed some of the 1930s motel signs. We planned to eat at the old 66 Diner, but discovered it had been torn down just recently. So we grabbed a bite near our hotel instead. Thanks Jerry and Debbie....we used your gift card in Albuquerque!!
