Here Today: 5.12.2010

We drank Santa Fe Pale Ale and had a fine meal at the Galisteo Bistro.

A good start to a week-long stay.

    Denise: This is my first visit to Santa Fe; it's an astonishing place and I'm loving it. The wind is coming up and they're saying it may even snow tonight. I'm totally unprepared for that, yet somehow ready for anything.
