Santa Fe Update
Sunday morning found Tippy and Patty off to Mass at the church in downtown Santa Fe. Mike and Stu hung around the coaches and relaxed after Stu cleaned the windshield and the front of the Alfa. A guy from a neighboring RV stopped by and we talked about each others travels. He was actually on the train with us on Friday. He had spent 25 days traveling the Santa Fe Trail and he really seemed to have enjoyed the trip. He is on his way to the Rockies to spend the summer. He is traveling alone, with his small poodle, in a small motorhome, probably a 34’ Gulf Stream and no tow car.
Sunday afternoon we went to the El rancho de las Golondrinas museum which was only a short way from where we are staying. This is an old ranch and travel stop with over 100 natural springs on the property. The ranch has been turned into a museum and very accurately depicts the life in the area around the 1800’s. There were even folks in period costume around the property to answer questions and add realism to the ranch. They had a walking trail set up around the ranch, and its 41 buildings, that stretched to over one mile. I will post a couple of pictures from our visit for you to enjoy.
Sunday evening we went to Maria’s for dinner and Margarita’s. The food and drink were both excellent and we all left happy and full. Our waiter, Kevin, was very good and even had a margarita named after him on the margarita menu which contained over 100 different margaritas priced at up to $45.
Today, Monday, Mike and I played golf at the Marty Sanchez Links de Santa Fe. The course was pretty but not in real good condition. We ended up joining another twosome as the pace was pretty slow. We enjoyed the day and I was able to separate Mike from $6 that he had taken from me last Thursday, mostly due to his poor play on the back nine. I shot a 44-45-89 and Mike had a 37-43-80 and I also had ten stokes from Mike as well. I’m not sure what is scheduled for tomorrow but I think another road trip is in our future. Until then be safe and enjoy the pictures.
