We love this place. It's a little windy up here on the top of the hill but the air is fresh and clear and the altitude is only 7000 feet so we can actually catch our breath for a change. Oh, and there are rabbits, lots of rabbits running all over the place. I've been chasing a few, but haven't caught one. Yet.
While I was watching the rabbits from the front window today everyone else went into Old Town Santa Fe. There are lots of shops with everything from Native American jewelry to chili powders. At the plaza they looked at hundreds of handicrafts laid out on blankets by the artisans. They had already seen and purchased so much stuff at our other stops that there wasn't much incentive to buy anything here. I think they came home with a few trinkets, some Nambe serving pieces and a Kokopelli flag, but nothing very exciting from my point of view. Except for that bag of treats from Petco.They visited the very famous Loretto Chapel with it's "miraculous staircase." It was built of wood in 1878 by an anonymous carpenter using wooden pegs instead of nails. There are two 360 degree turns and no visible means of support as it reaches up to the choir loft.
