Santa Fe is a city that has been inhabited for at least a couple of thousand years. The San Miguel Mission is said to be the oldest standing church structure in the United States. It is a city of arts and culture, with a friendly attitude, great shopping and food. This morning we took some time to sample a bit of the old city around the "Plaza". There are churches, stores, government buildings and native craftsmen that set up their wares on the sidewalks of the plaza. We spend a good part of the morning just walking and taking in all of the flavors of the central city. Before we left we topped it off with a delicious lunch at a 2nd floor restaurant overlooking the Plaza. It was a great morning. Of course we had to visit the local Harley dealer, this time with a purpose though. Cherif had to replace the helmet that he lost off his bike yesterday. The rest of the day was spent doing laundry, planning our route and resting up.
The Sangro De Cristo mountains grace Santa Fe to the east and they are a magnificent sight to behold both as the sun rises over them and with the light of the sunset reflecting off them. It is truly a beautiful place.
There is an abundance of beautiful of churches around the square in Santa Fe.
Tomorrow we will continue south then east and continue this adventure on Route 66.
