Santa Fe, New Mexico 9/24/10

We made it to Santa Fe Thursday evening after a beautiful drive from Cortez. After we set up at our RV park we drove to a little restaurant we saw on the Food Channel's "Diners, Dives & Drive Ins". WOW! what great burgers. They had been selected as the best burger in New Mexico and several think it's the best in the nation. Nothing fancy and plan on waiting to get a table. We sat at the counter which had all 8 seats open when we arrived. Definitely a place to stop if you're in the area.

Friday morning we ate breakfast at the Tecolote Cafe(fantastic!). Afterwards, we went downtown to visit the Plaza, Loretta Chapel & Miraculous Staircase, San Miguel Chapel (the oldest church in the U.S.) and of course Canyon Road. While the ladies shopped in the Plaza, Bill, Windsor and I enjoyed a couple of beers at the Ore House. That evening we relaxed at the RV park, enjoying wine and chips & salsa.

Windsor, Pam, Carol, me, Metha & Bill at the Bobcat Bite. Great burgers!

At the Tecolote Cafe for breakfast. A must if you're in Santa Fe.
