Santa Fe

I hope you all are checking Tempe's blog...she is posting photos and i am just too lazy to do that. Just wanted to give you a little update about the road trip so far. We arrived in Santa Fe last night after stopping in Oklahoma city for a night. We visited downtown OKC shortly to see the memorial to the bombing. It was a nicely done tribute to those who were lost on that tragic day.

We headed through Texas and stopped just outside of Amarillo at the Cadillac ranch which is a weird sculpture thing in the middle of a field. there are a row of 10 nose down cars that are routinely spray painted by locals and passersby. We made it to our campground which has wireless Internet and movies (really cheesy ones) every night. We cooked our own dinner then rested. It was a little chilly last night and will be tonight too but we have plenty of warm clothes.

Today we spent the day touring Santa Fe. We visited all the sites in a town where the adobe buildings make you feel like you should be walking around with a Barney or Fred from the Flintstones. We packed a lunch but ate really great guacamole and Mexican food for dinner. We went on an art walk this evening which was great not only because the museums were free but we got to see all forms of art. We stopped at the Georgia O'Keeffe, New Mexico Art and History museums. At the NM art exhibit we listened to a practice session for the local opera group accompanied by an orchestra. I love opera so I thought it was pretty great.

Over all we realized that Santa Fe is a pretty artsy city with lots of local Indian artists with hand made jewelry, pottery and paintings etc. Tomorrow we are off to 4 corners then Mesa Verde. Now it is off to bed to be rested for the trip tomorrow.
