Santa Fe

After our detour to Las Vegas we headed south to Santa Fe.  We were both really excited to be going there as we thought it would be a cool, artsy place to live someday......we were very disappointed.  The architecture I loved, but it lacked authenticity.  It seems like disney came in and decorated and there were so many tourists that I had no desire to explore much of downtown.

I treated Michael for his birthday to a very nice spa that night.  Ten Thousand Waves was set up in the mountains a bit above the city and we had a hot tub, sauna and massages before retiring to the Santa Fe Sage Inn.

The next morning we had coffee at a pretty cool cafe called Aztec Cafe,
and hit up a few of the vintage western wear shops where Michael tried on some very '3:10 to Yuma' cowboy hats.....the one that looked amazing was 100 dollars...so it still in the shop.

We drove down to Albuquerque and stopped at a couple more vintage shops and record stores before getting on the road to Gallup.
