After breakfast we drove about 5 miles to the flea market north of Santa Fe. The flea market just opened for the season about 3 weeks ago and not all the vendors were set up yet. It was cold and windy, but we managed to do some shopping.
We returned to town and did some walking around. Old Town Santa Fe is much like Old Town Albuquerque. Shops and restaurants surround a central square with monuments and museums close by. Indian vendors and other artists come every day to sell their wares. The best bargains are at the square. The shops are more upscale (expensive) and rarely negotiate on price. Everyone was friendly though.
A monument in the square memorializes the Santa Fe Trail. A wagon trail starting in Independence, MO, and ending in Santa Fe, NM.
This is a magnificent cathedral and museum situated at the end of a street in Old Town.
After doing some sightseeing, we had lunch in a small Mexican restaurant a few blocks away. We made our way back to the condo shopping at the street vendor area and window shopping in some of the upscale stores.
By the time we got back, my feet were sore again.
We stayed in tonight, snacked on apples and cheese then split a Tres Leches piece of cake we bought yesterday at Whole Foods. We watched a movie about the life of Georgia O'Keeffe in preparation for a visit to the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. We'll probably walk there tomorrow as it is only 5 blocks away.
Sounds like you are finding a lot to do there. Hope you are having fun!
