Here Today: 5.12.2010

Today was a traveling day. San Francisco to Santa Fe . . .

We crossed the Sierra Nevada.

We found the country of adobe and big sky.

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

A good start to a week-long stay.

  1. I've never visited Santa Fe. I have heard that it is beautiful. Have fun!

  2. Tigress: You're not the only one to rave about the Waves. I hope to get there this weekend.

    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.
