New Mexico Giant Trip

We are back from a whirlwind trip to Santa Fe starting first with Taos, then Chimayo, then finally all the wedding festivities in Santa Fe.

We explored the Taos Pueblo which has been lived in for thousands of years with no electricity or running water even today by Native American Indians. Much is restricted to tourists as the native people live, work their crafts, and worship within the walls. Bought a few things here and there - love artist crafts.

Our bed and breakfast inn in Chimayo was cute with the restaurant across the street. Good food- the best kind of New Mexican. This place is huge and pulls in masses of people from a large radius. We were warned, so no surprise when there was no TV, internet or cell coverage. Happy to report we managed nicely. Thanks Nancy for the heads up.

Now the next abode was quite fabulous, courtesy of Nancy. Concierge extraordinaire at La Posada in Santa Fe, and we had the presidential suite. 4 rooms plus 2 bathrooms. Awesome stuff, sooo,we had everyone there after party two nights in a row, and wedding shower there as well. Did you see the pool table? Was played by one couple only (Brandon and Jessica) but at least was used...

Ohhh the wedding. Wow aren't weddings fun! Well, this one certainly was. Nephew Chase and beautiful bride Heli.
