Santa Fe, NM

It was an easy drive down from Taos to Santa Fe, only about 65 miles. It was below freezing both night s in Taos, so we had emptied on 30 lb. propane tank and were working on the second. Our RV park didn't have a propane station, which is unusual, so the lady at the desk sent me down to the local propane company. They were supposed to be open till noon and I got there at 11:47 and not a soul was around. I stopped in another campground, but they didn't have a fill and sent me to a third campground just south of town. They were out and their refill was stuck in traffic somewhere. They sent me further south and finally a place was open with propane. It shouldn't be that hard.
With that out of the way, we headed into downtown Sante Fe. Our first stop was the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. They had a film on her life and times. 1887 to 1986. Quite a run and quite a productive career. She was her own person.
From there we walked through an outdoor art show and down to the Plaza. Jewlery everywhere and torquoise coming out of their ears. I found a sheepskin vest that was nice, but at 1395 decided to leave it where it was. A wedding procession with Mariachi band leading them was on a lap around the Plaza. It's all pretty neat.
