Thanksgiving in Santa Fe

Taking advantage of a long weekend, we took off on Thanksgiving morning to drive to Santa Fe, through cloudy skies and rain. By the time we reached the outskirts of the city, it was snowing, big, beautiful flakes. Our dinner of green chili chicken soup, salmon wraps and Margaritas wasn't exactly the usual Thanksgiving dinner, but it was good and comforting.

We're attracted to the architecture of Santa Fe and all the art galleries.

We took a walk in the neighborhood that night and also the next morning.

I was intrigued by the winding staircase in the Loretto Chapel.

We took a drive to the San Ildefonso Pueblo in the afternoon,and drove through Chimayo, known for weavings and the El Santuario (a chapel of miracles).
The next day, we toured through the Georgia O'Keefe Museum, enjoying the many stories told by a docent. Then we headed north, taking the High Road to Taos, and stopping a several art galleries.

We got to the Taos Pueblo just before closing. The lighting on the buildings was phenomenal.

We missed taking a traditional ofuro (bath) at the Ten Thousand Waves Japanese spa. Guess we'll save that for next time.
