Captains Log October 7 - I definitely think we are winding down, so it's a good thing this is our
last official “tourist” day. Once we had breakfast out of the way we headed out just about a a mile down the road from our campground. There's a small parking area there and a path leading to La Cieneguilla Petroglyphs. Bill wasn't overly excited over going but he was a good sport about it. He didn't sleep well and we had to walk about 10 minutes to the base of the mesa. Then it's a kinda path but rocky and not wide. The petroglyphs are 2 kilometers and over 4,000 of them. I could have spent all day out there so it was a good thing to Bill that I didn't have all that data before we left. I did get some good photos of what was at this particular area. Bill's not much on the climbing and I'm like a mountain goat. I love to climb! So, for me, this was the best part of our time in Santa Fe.
We really didn't feel like driving out to Chimayo like we had planned . It's a very nice Pueblo there and an old church with interesting history. We've been several times, but I think we were just tired !
After our hike, we dropped a package off at the post office, which oddly, is in a mall. So I did browse Penney's for a bit but no real deals and I really didn't need anything.
Then we stopped at Walmart and I did 2 returns. While I was in there Bill was chatting up a couple of locals and found an excellent place for lunch. The Pantry which is
NEW Mexican food. I have a 3 items platter and on it was a brisket taco. AWESOME! I didn't have any leftovers but Bill had part of his brisket quesadilla to bring home.
We stopped at one last pottery shop, which actual was a village of different shops. Bill watched a glass blower while I perused plants and flowers made by welding. So much Talavera and so little space to put it! More beautiful stuff.
Time to head back to the campground! I did a bit of housework and later made dinner but mostly chilled with my current book!
