Santa Fe, New Mexico

Spent two weeks with 3 gal pals I have known for over 35 years in Santa Fe, NM.  I have lots of pics below and will also post a separate section on Route 66.  New Mexico is one of those places I pine for....the land, the food and the art.  Went to some art openings, lots of galleries, great food and got out of the city a bit. Here are some highlights....

Door to our casa

Our host is a metal worker so the following pics are the decoration around the place.
