Off to Santa Fe New Mexico

Don't know why these pics are so small but I don't have time to fix them. Just wanted to give you a flavor of the place. Adobe architecture like this everywhere.
This is where we always stay - The Inn of the Anasazi - I think the Anasazi were a native tribe who lived in the north of New Mexico.
Santa Fe is the state capitol and stands at about 7,000 feet - 2,100 meters or so.
The scenery is typical high dessert with cacti and many including purple colored rocks. Made famous, among others by Georgia O'Keiffe in her paintings.
It's about 400 miles south of here and takes about 6 hours to drive to.
The only poem I know about the place is over on awheywithwords.blogspot.com
I'll post pictures from my phone if I can.

We'll have to go there at some point, but our weekend plans revolve around painting a window in Ringsted. (provided it doesn't rain)
 
We are painting - come rain or not!
Good luck with the cycling in Santa Fe.
 
Went to a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball game, it was so much fun! We sat behind first base. A beautiful, heavenly night to be out.

We were awakened by a terrific jolt,an earthquake centered just 5 miles from us. Very sharp adn big reminder of the '94 quake that did so much damage. Just pictures swinging and couple things like that, all's okay.

Have a great time riding and such.

It's a donkey!
Hope that the air isn't too thin.

Isn't Anasazi a tennis player?
