SANTA FE


 







Santa Fe, the capitol of New Mexico, is known for it's art, history, and sunshine.






Founded in 1610, Santa Fe is the oldest capital city in the U.S.




At 7,000 feet above sea level, Santa Fe is the highest capital city in the U.S.





                       There is music in the Plaza almost every day in the summer. 






                                             Ruth poses with one of the musicians.



Local artisans work with glass blowing equipment.

Don and Ruth check out the world-class art shops in town.




We drive out to the Bandelier National Monument to check out the archaeological sites.







In the park are Native American cliff dwellings and petroglyphs.





Don checks to see if there is a vacancy!





We spend a full day on the many trails that wind through Bandelier.



After a fun filled several days, we bid Santa Fe goodbye and head to the Grand Canyon.
