Santa Fe

We are spending the weekend in Santa Fe, New Mexico and are camped at the cutest RV park to date. It's called the Trailer Ranch RV Resort. Very nice amenities and campsite.


We went in to town and had a nice lunch at La Fonda, the hotel we have been visiting for 40 years. It's still wonderful. We wandered around the plaza and shops, visited the Loretto chapel with it's miracle staircase, and came back to the RV for naps. Two margarita lunch will do that to ya.

Sunday we headed out to Chimayo and had lunch at Rancho de Chimayo, another tradition over the years of coming here. The drive took us through Nambe and a precious vineyard and tasting room for Estrella Del Norte wines.

Monday, we are Cloudcroft bound! We won't have much WiFi there, so we may be posting late. We'll be a week in Cloudcroft before heading to Austin to visit Bethany on our way back home two weeks from today.
