Thursday, 4/26, PM
A long & busy day. Left Raton at 7:10 AM heading for Santa Fe. First stop was Las Vegas (NM, that is - no casinos), where we had a 'small world'moment - turns out that a manager at the C-store where we stopped for a comfort break knows Sandra's uncle!
Got to Santa Fe around 10:15 and emptied our pockets of quarters to pay the parking meter. Toured the Palace of the Governors, the Art Museum and around the Plaza. We ate at The Shed Cafe, where we sat at the same table as last year - blue corn tacos (smothered) with posole - that's where I took the Santa Fe Courtyard picture that won some contests for me last year (available at www.missouridaytrips.com, travel, trip 06). Good thing we didn't need gas - it was $3.19 at some Sanat Fe stations.
Took the Turquoise Trail down toward Albuquerque, stopping at 10,628 ft Sandia Crest - what a view. After checking into the motel, we met Madge & Larry Harrah (whom we met through her book about Blind Boone) for dinner at Garcia's. Scrumptious.
HIE Motel is nice, but it's not what the previous two were.
