Part 2~Santa Fe, A Museum & More

In addition to visiting The Loretto Chapel and The Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in Santa Fe as posted in Part 1, we took a stroll through the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. 

A bit of Ms. O'Keefe's art is below.

As I said in Part 1, there are a lot of shops, museums and other things to do in downtown. We barely scratched the surface with only a day and a half spent in the downtown area, and I didn't take a lot of photos. 

Here are some side street sights.

A weekend fiesta was beginning!

Fiestas and other events are held on the Plaza.

We hope to visit Santa Fe again in the future. In addition to exploring more of downtown, we'd like to drive the Turquoise Trail, a national scenic drive that's off-the-beaten path. It runs from Santa Fe to Albuquerque with pretty views along the way, and stops can be made in old mining towns where arts and crafts, museums, restaurants and more can be enjoyed.

We stayed at Santa Fe Skies RV Park conveniently located just off I-25 and has mostly all pull-through sites. A 3/4 of a mile walking trail circles the park, and our dogs relished in walks on it.

Our Mini Schnauzer, Elmer, is in 

the middle but you can't see 

Chihuhua Chewy's shadow.

He's off to the side 

sniffing the ground!
