After a sleepless night in the bitter cold, 19 degrees F with winds of 25mph, we left Colorado in search for warmth. We did not get to see a lot of what we wanted to in Colorado but its okay, we can't do everything, nor will we ever see it all. The good news is, we are guaranteed endless adventures. Though often I wish I could see it all!

| Cerrillos, near Santa Fe |
Santa Fe is a place we had been wanting to explore for sometime, it was only a few hours away and the weather report had promised us warmth (well during the day at least)! So without hesitation, we were off. It was exhilarating dropping down into the unique landscape of New Mexico. At dusk, the mesas were silhouetted against the fiery colored sunsets I'd heard so much about.
We spent quite some time in the beautiful pueblo style city of Santa Fe. It was a great home base for doing research on our new camera, getting packages with more upgrades for our VW and of course enjoying incredible New Mexican cuisine! Yummmmm!
From what I heard about Santa Fe to what I experienced, it
seems to me that Santa Fe has moved away from the free artistic
lifestyle to being more catered to the wealthy. I feel this is a trend
among the towns and cities that we hear a lot about. My guess is too
many people have heard too much about them... and with tourism comes
change. It makes me a little sad not having seen many of these places
in what people refer to as the "good ol' days".
