Santa Fe, New Mexico, May 24,2012

We got into Santa Fe before noon this morning.  Got all set up, had lunch, then took off for the Old Plaza.  First thing, we took an hour tour of the old town and Canyon Road which has all the galleries. Santa Fe is truly different.  It is the oldest town in the USA, since the 1600's and around the old Plaza all the building are stucco or adobe, town law.  Wish we could use adobe in our area.  I love it.
After the tour, we did a walk about for a bit.  Then we headed for the more modern part of town, Lowes and Best Buy.  Our friends in Ouray have reflective insulation on the windows of their 5th wheel so Marv wanted to try it.  He almost have all the windows done.  When you are in this country, it can get really hot with the sun pouring into the windows.
Marv also decided to buy a new toy.  We are now the proud owners of a GPS.  All we have to do is learn how to use it.
Tomorrow we are going back to the Plaza for a little more sightseeing and going to the Tesuque Flea Market and check out a couple of Pueblos outside of town.
Now for the pictures.
Loretto Chapel
Oldest house in USA. so they say.
San Miguel Mission. Oldest church in USA
Cathedral  Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi
These are the pictures for today. More tomorrow. 
Til later.
