Today is our last day in Santa Fe for this particular tour. Peggy and I agree that Santa Fe has some extraordinary attributes. The city itself is very attractive. The air is crystal-clear. The light during the day changes dramatically. The surrounding mountains are magnificent. The visibility is unlimited almost all the time. Surrounding areas like Taos, Grand Canyon of the Rio Grande, Jemez Valley, Valles Caldera and Bandelier National Monument are all stunning. There are many museums and snazzy shops with unique items for sale. The Plaza area downtown is gorgeous. When we dined out, the food was good and reasonably priced. When rain or snow rolls through, they come and go quickly and are visually glorious. The folks we met were friendly.
Driving on the roads in town can be challenging for the uninitiated. Nothing runs straight and some roads actually go in a circle. Visitors are urged to acquire a map.
We spent the day getting ready for travel because we are headed across a massive desert. We went to Trader Joe’s and fattened up our supplies. We bought fuel. I think we are ready to go after being here for 12 days. We will miss this place, though.
