OUR LAST DAY IN THE CITY DIFFERENT(SANTA FE)

Fri Sep 11

Our last day in Santa Fe was interesting.  We started out at the Tesuque Flea Market which was recommended as a “must do” although the lady at the Visitors Center described it as “snotty upscale”.  It was full of junk—not upscale junque—just plain old junk!  Then we found the pueblo which dates back to 1200 AD and all it amounted to was land with houses on it (a Pueblo is like a land grant) so we headed back to Old Town.

There was a Fiesta going on at the plaza and it was packed with people.  We found a cute little cafe on a side street and dined al fresco while watching a parade pass by.

We walked miles poking through shops and side stepping street people and beggars.  For such an artsy high priced town—the City Different (as it is referred to) is loaded with the homeless.  So—been there—done that—and didn’t even buy a T-shirt!  Now I’m going to go and soak my aching feet!

Later,
