Spring Break Part 3: Santa Fe

We quickly realized we didn't have enough time to see everything in Santa Fe & the surrounding areas, but we certainly got a taste of the history and culture in this northern NM spot.  We saw 600 year old dwellings, the oldest church in N America, the historic town square, and the brothers!!  Our 1 hour with the friends there on Wednesday night was pretty special too.


Authentic New Mexico food - it was wonderful!!

typical sighting - red chiles
Bandelier National Monument - climbing ladders to check out old Indian dwellings. 

Russell & Ben took the ladders 140+ feet high to the highest dwelling.  They seemed like little specks from where Trevin & I were watching.   The view was fantastic from there - overlooking the valley.  I had hoped to take a turn, but there wasn't time.  Trevin wasn't interested in climbing that high, and I understood.  Next time I'll be the first one up the ladder!
