Day 25: We could have walked home today..

 Santa Fe, New Mexico 

ZERO bike time! A pleasant change.

Didn't see the temperature but the forecast had been for 89F - a relatively cool day.

We went for a walk from our Airbnb to "old" Santa Fe, without an agenda, just to have a low key day and keep moving (it is on the Spotwalla link.) We walked, I am guessing, 6 or 8 km. 3.5 hours. 

Most of old town is high end or designer stores catering to the wealthy. With a few exceptions just looked through the windows however, we did pop into one jewelery store  because they had an espresso bar in the back.  They had lots of nice stuff... from Turkey. They couldn't identify the Indigenous artists who made some of the "Indian art" or indicate the price as being $50 or $5 with any certainty. But the coffee was good.




Nan looking over jewelery being sold by actual Indigenous artists.







I would have been tempted by this t-shirt but not for $50. US. NOT made in the US.

A couple of shots from our Airbnb.

  1. How nice to just have a down day, walking in the town, no place to be or time to arrive somewhere.

    1. We are enjoying the rest and not having saddle time. Tomorrow expect to get back at it as we will be doing more tourist things again.
