On the way to Santa Fe


We are off on Wednesday for a holiday in Santa Fe and this little owl is going with me. I don't very often make anything special for me, which is a little sad isn't it? Santa Fe is just a wee bit over 5 hours from home. We haven't been for a couple of years. Which is also a little bit sad given that Santa Fe is a lovely city and one our favourites. We're staying a block off the plaza in an old heritage hotel. Everything is within walking distance including Bead Fest Santa Fe. Peter has told me time and again that he can't imagine anything more wonderful than spending a day bead shopping. Do you think he is just humouring me? Probably, but I'm still looking forward to it.
But best of all will be a trip up to the chapel in Chimayo. No trip to Santa Fe is complete without a day trip there. Built in the early 1800's, it is steeped in legend and mystery surrounding a cross and the healing power of the earth it is built on. It is magical and I love it.
I'm going completely computer free on this excursion. So, I'll be on a little blogger holiday over the next week. If I can remember my camera, I'll bring back some photos for you.
Have a lovely week everyone.
