Santa Fe 3




We loved Santa Fe. Even if it was cold - I wore 4 layers most of the time, and gloves! This artwork was outside of a gallery. The Elk is for Sara. The bears looked much warmer than it was! Santa Fe has many galleries and all the buildings have to meet the standards of adobe styling. It is a beautiful small city. We stopped for lunch at a tex mex place and had enchiladas, burritos and refried beans, and hominy and .... very good - but we were stuffed!
Laurie was able to get the camera cleaned so we should have better pictures now. We headed back to Los Alamos to go to the Bradbury Science Museum. Los Alamos used to be the secret location where they developed the Atomic bomb. The museum gave some of the history of the development of the lab, Robert Oppenheimner etal, and hinted at some of the top secret work going on there still. We decided to go back to Bandelier NP as it was nearby and familiar - but Gypsy (the GPS) took us right through the restricted area - camper had to be searched! Another verrrrry cold night. Furnace on but the propane tank 1 ran out about 1 am - super husband went out in the snow without his knickers to switch tanks! Thanks!
