(Glenn) We had to leave Santa Fe today to head south to Truth or Consequences, NM. Before we left we stopped by the plaza for lunch. We had some more great food from the venders selling from their mobile carts (more hot tamales and carnitas). Cathy and I agree that we would like to return here again but I hope they close all the jewelry stores and shoe shops before I make it back. The oldest church in America was next to our hotel so we included a photo of the San Miguel Church. We rode south for about three hours to stay at Riverbend Hotspings in Truth or Consequences, NM. We had great weather on our way here but about 7:00 PM we had a heavy thunderstorm as we were soaking in the hot springs. This place is so relaxing. We are only allowed to whisper while in the hot springs. This place is so clean, quiet, and spa-like. I know we will enjoy our day reading and soaking in the springs.
(Cathy) Sante Fe is one of my very favorite cities. I need an adobe house. First thing this morning we visited the New Mexico state capital. It is only round state capital in the US. No dome was allowed or it would have been taller than the chapel. The buffalo artwork in the photo was the product of a NM artist. The Capitol building is filled with 6 million dollars of New Mexican artwork. I took a photo of one piece I want Nicole to paint for me. Knock on wood, so far we have dodged the rain.
A first for me. I went skinny dipping. We had rented a private hot tub. We watched it rain and thunder and lightening over the mountains. The owner said we were good as long as the lightening stayed across the mountains. Looking forward to a relaxing day tomorrow.
