Went down to the Santa Fe Plaza area to see the sights. We used an audio tour that gave us some interesting information about the buildings and Santa Fe. One of the things we learned was that the headquarters for the Manhattan Project was in Santa Fe. Today it is a Chocolate and Cashmere shop. We also learned about the connection of Jewish people to Santa Fe.
In the Plaza, many Native American craftspeople were selling jewelry and other items. Linda got a beautiful turquoise bracelet and I got a copper engraved guitar pick, Not sure I will use it too often but it is beautiful.
San Miguel Chapel, the oldest church in the continental US
St. Francis Cathedral
Santa Fe Plaza, the restaurant where we had lunch is next to the white building at the end of the street
Linda at lunch at the Plaza Cafe, founded in 1905.
Went out to dinner to a restaurant that had New Mexican cuisine. I had a blue stacked enchilada with green chili and Linda had tamales with red and green chili. Excellent food and the price was reasonable.
Tomorrow we will be on the way to our last stop before get to Debbie and Darrell’s house. We will be going to Canyon de Chelly, a smaller canyon with cliff dwellings in the middle of the Navajo reservation.
I still have my turquoise bracelet from the artist in the square… 21 years ago!
