Day 19 - Santa Fe


This morning we awoke well rested in Albuquerque and after a nice breakfast on Bob and Kay's patio we drove into downtown Albuquerque. There we had "second breakfast" at the Frontier Restaurant, a place that Eve used to frequent during her stay in Albuquerque some 25 years ago. After that we visited a movie memoribilia shop operated by one of Eve's old boyfriends from Gallup. I think he was a little surprised! At the store I came across a VHS copy of Carnival of Souls and Eve got it for me as an early Father's Day present. Can't wait to watch it! Then we drove up to Sante Fe. Sante Fe, the capital of New Mexico, is one of the oldest cities in the US and contains the oldest known house in the US. It is very arts oriented and the main square downtown, over 400 years old, is surrounded by a myriad of art galleries, restaurants and gift shops. We took all of that in and then had a great little meal at the Blue Corn Cafe. After that it was back to Albuquerque where I sit now, trying to catch up on blogging.

Hi Sturms! Love the blogs!

Thanks for the new pictures, love the one with you all with the statue and especially the cloud that was shaped like an arrow head!

Homesick yet? Thought I'd post some of your hometown news from here in Yellow Springs...

Gas prices here are now back down to the $2.70's, your gas ticket home should be a lot easier on your pockets as you get closer to Ohio.

The biggest news of the week is... Antioch College announced this past week... It's CLOSING!!!

Yes, that's right.

Antioch College is Closing!!! It's front page on the YS News this week. You can read about it on-line @ ysnews.com. It's all the buzz around town.

Everyone's wondering what will happen to the Antioch School... the Riding Center and Glen Helen... property values, etc.

Hopefully, they'll have it all sorted out by the time you get home.

*thought you'd want the scoop!

We miss you & we look forward to more of your adventures!

Hey guys,
Tell Bob & Kay HI for me. They are quite the host and hostess:)aren't they? Can you believe they take in, house, and host any of us Sturm's w/o even knowing us? Pretty risky! But now that they've met the youngest, wildest of us all, it's all good from there - HUH John!

Enjoy your visit!
