I'LL TRYto be brief!!!

The drive to Taos was beautiful and Jeralyn was great on the hairpin turns...I didn't know tires could make those kind of noises. WE got to enjoy the view while Jeralyn watched the road.... at least she said she was watching !!!! A great day was had by all ( shopping in the square, eating , just enjoying the atmosphere and the friendliness of all we met.). Back in Santa Fe we found Mark and Phyllis' house ( could we possibly be acclimating????) where we enjoyed pizza, wine ,and company of great friends!! The night sky with stars shining(it's really, really dark out there) is absolutey awesome. In the morning it was Albuquerque Airport (good-bye sniff-sniff to Cate) and then Old Town . ANOTHER Church ( The Spainish King required a Church in all settlements) . Church of San Felipe De Neri built in 1706 to honor King Philip. There is also a Convent so all of you needing a retreat take note!!!! I would post a picture BUT I CAN'T GET THEM DOWNLOADED!!! Will share later...bet you can't wait. ALLLLLLL right .... Coach outlet... a frenzy was had by all but when the dust settled, only Phyllis and Mary Ann had made a purchase. Back to the casita for our last evening. Dinner at Pronzo ( eeeekkkk!! We ate Italian in Santa Fe???? ) It was wonderful as was the window shopping on the way and the walk home where we had our last hot tub soak. Good-bye hot tub, I'll miss you!

Road trip to Taos

Hi! It's me again! Sistuh Jeralyn here! Wow! What a wonderful week we have had! Here's our test run on the car to see if it's really fixed. We took the so called scenic route to Taos which to us was nothing more than the longer way to go. Lots and I mean lots of hairpin turns. I guess that's the scenic part. Taos was another day of sensory overload with the spectacular art galleries,which of course are my favorite places to be, along with shopping. We took the supposed non-scenic route back to Santa Fe which was abosolutely beautiful! We dined at Mark and Phyllis' home on their stunning patio, viewing a lightening storm over the mountains while we dined on pizza and Phyllis' fantastic salad. And of course I almost forgot, the wine.

REWIND

O.K.... we've been a little slack about keeping up with our blog......BUT this vacation is so packed we come home exhausted....we even skipped the hot tub a couple of nights!!!!! Santa Fe is one of the top 3 cities in U.S. for art galleries. Canyon Road is THE place to explore art in Santa Fe. We were unable to see it all .....guess we will have to come back...YIPPEEEE!! Here are a few of my favorites.
