  • Farewell Santa Fe

    We are leaving Santa Fe today. This morning we started early as we always do, having not gotten out of the "farm" habit. We walked to the square and had a great breakfast in the La Fonda galleria. After breakfast we walked back to the condo, picked up the car and drove over to The Railyard, a shopping center made where the old Santa Fe railroad station was located. We walked around but there weren't many shops open. From there we drove to Ziggy's international market looking for blue corn flour or meal. They didn't have it so we went to Whole Foods and found it there but didn't buy it because we can get it in San Diego. Down the block from Whole Foods was a chocolate factory, so we felt obligated to stop in and sample some. We bought some, too, for later consumption. One more stop before returning to the condo: we found the Chocolate Maven that we were told was a real bakery, not like the bakery-cafes we'd been in.  We were told the truth, the Chocolate Maven, located in an industrial-type building was a thriving bakery. We snagged some samples there and bought some chocolate chile hot chocolate mix and a chocolate-cherry tart. Are you seeing a trend, here?

    Now we are packing up to leave for Albuquerque.
