First night in Santa Fe

Natalie's friend Susan Waller, whom she know from Hallmark years ago, lives here with her partner Daniel. We went to dinner with them at MARIA's Restaurant, a New Mexican spot. Then we walked on the Plaza, looked in the shop windows and the lit up buildings. Love all the Adobe buildings. We stopped for dessert at another place and had a great time with them. These photos are from last night.

Beautiful beaded purses

Mineral Shop

You have to try the desserts in this Greek place!

Should I have that pie or a cookie?

Texan Hats

Plaza at night

We will come back to the Plaza in the daylight. A lot of fancy shops- but fun to look. Also in the daytime the Indians sell their wares.

Arrived in Santa Fe, New Mexico

House for sale...like redo's?

Reading about Santa Fe on the road

Entry to KOA Campground!

The rest of these Photos are taken at the campground, in the store there and our campsite. We will be here for 3 days. Love it.

 We have this yard beside our camper and the dogs love being put on long ties. There is a fenced-in dog park right next to our site too.

Doing Sudoku

Not many people here. Feel like it's all ours.

Enchanted By New Mexico

Sunny day, 60 degrees. Wind has calmed down. Last night at the Big Texan restaurant we met a couple from Falmouth MA! We ate dinner with a couple we met at the campground, from Topeka Kansas, John and Phyllis. The restaurant sent a limo to get us. The Bid Texan was big- filled with cowhide tablecloths, cowboy waiters, wandering country western singers, mounted elk heads, the world's biggest steak challenge. If you could eat a 72oz steak in an hour, (that included rolls, salad, beans and 3 shrimp!),you would get it free. Two men tried while we were there and failed. It cost them $72 each.

The drive today shows more really wide open spaces, ( you can see smoke 30 miles away) sagebrush, mesas, dry wash, tons of cattle in a Feed Lot, no trees to speak of, red dirt, more mountains.more windmills (cities of them) We crossed into our 11th state- New Mexico!
