New Mexico: Santa Fe

 


From February 2022

Julia and I have been to Santa Fe before, but it was many years ago.

Normally, the drive from Pojoaque to Santa Fe is only about 20 minutes, but the roads were snow covered/slushy on the morning of our visit.  There didn't seem to be very much snow removal equipment working.  We took our time and eventually ended up parking close to the plaza.  Callie was with us, so there was no museum touring or anything of that nature  Santa Fe simply caught us unprepared  Quite a few places were closed. There was hardly anyone out on the streets.

 We managed to take a few pictures on the morning of February 3rd.




Santa Fe River

The river was interesting to me because this would be called a creek in Wisconsin.  Later in the week, we would learn that a river out here doesn't need any water flowing to be called a river. 

On the way back, we stopped to walk a paved trail running from the main drag in Pojoaque to the reservation school.  Conditions were wintry.

On the next day, we had reservations waiting for us at an airbnb outside Albuquerque.
