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…. .
Good choice of song for a very colorful town. Did you see any Indian bracelets?:)
Great picture together! You could use it for the admin profile…
Looks like nice, relaxing day!
This brings back memories. Santa Fe is the city of my conference debut in US. It was 1995 with Ajay!
It turned out that I ran a meeting in our hotel 20 years ago with Carlo

Love the colorful pics!

Slowed up my writing! Will finish responses on the way to The Grand Canyon and send to you when we get there. Tell QQ to send PLoS response by Wednesday so I can work on it on the plane
Love the pictures! I always wanted to visit Santa Fe for its art. The sculptures are very beautiful.
That’s quite some place
Wind sculptures look familiar.
