Farewell Santa Fe

Today we leave for Taos. We will be there until Wednesday, Sept. 10. I am trying to find some places to check out on our trip up there.

Yesterday we took in the Santa Fe Arts Festival that was in the Plaza. Chatted with a photographer whose work is a combination of digital and acrylic painting. I bought one of his images and a package of post cards...it will give me some ideas for some of my own images.

Vicki got some jewelry and I got a choker and leather bracelet. I haven't worn that kind of stuff since college, but now it's back in "fashion." The choker has a silver bear talisman...the bear symbolizes "seeker of answers" and "The Shaman." Seeker of answers is a good fit for me.

Dinner was at a restaurant called "Dinner for Two" off of Guadalupe Street near our B&B. They offered a "prix fix" dinner for $24 that was a very good value. My soup was cold cherry and ginger. The biggest surprise to both of us was the calamari that was part of the presentation on which Vicki's crab cakes were placed and my shrimp appetizer. They had been marinated in rice wine vinegar and ginger...sort of like a ceviche. The meal was very good and we will go back.
