First, took a 20 mile bike ride on the Arroyo De Los Chamisos bike trail along the very dried up arroyo. Santa Fe is almost as dry as Kansas. Let's hope they both get rain soon. I have discovered how other parts of the country are so impacted by weather, in a way that I'm not aware of in the Northeast. Yes, we are inconvenienced by hurricanes, snow and ice but not in a way that impacts our livelihood, like my new friends in Kansas. This has been a real eye opener.
I then visited the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, which was fascinating. I learned so much about how the local Indians survived and even thrived in such a tough environment. I also discovered a new artist (for me): Tony Da, the son of famous potters who became famous himself for both his pottery as well as his art.
Another good day! Headed to Zion National Park tomorrow. Long drive (580 miles-clearly breaking my rule of 400 miles max) but really no other way. Tomorrow's blog entry will be short!
Santa Fe sounds great and sounds like you are getting lots of exercise along the way!
ReplyDeleteI love the dancing elephants--Kate and I didn't see those when we were there. I laughed when I saw your photo.
