Day 9: Santa Fe, NM

Stop 7 / State 3 (again):  Santa Fe, NM

We headed South and had a little bit shorter trip today (about 148 miles).  We were sure that todays trip would be downhill but it was a steady, gradual climb until we reached the Taos plateau.

Kristen insisted on a picture of these purple flowers.  Someone must have thrown out seed.  They blanketed both sides of the road for about 20 miles through the plateau.

We got to Santa Fe and got the trailer leveled and hooked up (it's amazing how calm and efficient we've gotten about setting up and packing up).  After a run to Trader Joe's, we headed down to the plaza for an early dinner.  When we set out, we promised ourselves that we'd cook and eat in the trailer except when good restaurants are available.  Santa Fe is one of those places with good restaurants.

After dinner, we took a short walk around the plaza (we'll cover it more thoroughly tomorrow).  This is the plaza from one corner.

This church is just up the street from the plaza.

The plaza from a different corner.

Finally, our daily shot of the trailer in its site.
