Day 4 in the Southwest

On Saturday, still in Santa Fe, we explored Canyon Road, which is over a kilometre of art galleries. Every single building is a gallery with paintings and sculptures. Suffice to say we didn't make it into all of them but some of them had some very cool art, although very expensive. If I had a heap of money I would have loved to have bought some of the sculptures.

By late afternoon we decided to head back to the plaza and do some last minute shopping and browse the back streets behind the plaza. We then headed to a bell tower to watch the sunset which was amazing and then headed back to our hotel for their free happy hour margaritas!

After the margaritas, Bob and Karen met us again and we went and had dinner at a bar called Cowgirl, then listened to the band that was playing and played pool.

Day 3 in the Southwest

On Friday we explored the main plaza of Santa Fe, buying jewellery from the Navajo sellers and checking out the very cool looking adobe buildings.

In the afternoon we met up with Jeanne's brother in-law, Bob, and sister in-law, Karen, who live in Santa Fe. We went to an art gallery show and then to dinner at a bar on Canyon Road.
