Spacious skies above New Mexico

Quiz Bowl State Championship

Casa de la Cuma B&B

Sunset at La Fonda Hotel

Santa Fe, NM:  Traveling north through New Mexico, we passed miles of flat prarie land and mesas, only stopping once to watch our nephew's Quiz Bowl State Championship on the cell phone.  His team came in 2nd, but he was named MVP!  It was amazing to be able to watch his competition live in the car as we drove through Nowhere, NM!

We arrived in Santa Fe about 3:00 and checked into the Casa de la Cuma B&B for the weekend.  It was close enough to walk to the plaza of that historical city to enjoy the art, music and fantastic food!  We returned to the La Fonda Hotel's rooftop bar for sunset and then dined with the singing waiters at La Cantina.  Also enjoyed the creative southwestern cooking at The Shed.  Santa Fe was a nice stop for some retail therapy after so much nature . . . . Actually, John had scheduled the car for a routine service.  Life is good!
