Slow train coming

The travelers were wise to pause at the Santa Fe railhead and contemplate their next move, avoiding the fires in SOCAL and the slide at Big Sur. A day well spent. Lunch in Pasquales with Jami and Steve , friends of Ian’s daughter Emma was followed by a stroll through the town that has it all – adobe architecture, Red hot chilli peppers, Indian jewelry, high wire acts, even Joseph and Mary. The sacred and the profane. We caught the sculptures in and out of the wind on Canyon road, saw the oldest government building in the US and as we listened to impromptu music reminiscent of the Buena Vista Social club we were reminded, peering at the inscription on the obelisk that the victors write history, except like here, when it is rewritten : Geronimo’s revenge…. .
