SANTA FE
Late yesterday afternoon I drove to Santa Fe and checked into my hotel, The Lodge At Santa Fe.
Here are two photos of my room.
I walked the 5K AVA-sponsored walk, Santa Fe Capital Adventure, organized by the Double Eagle Hike and Bike Club.
The walk began at the Visitor's Center.
New Mexico Capitol Building (The Roundhouse) (1966)
San Miguel Church
Nation's Oldest House
The Gregoria Crespin House (1747) at 132 E. De Vargas Street.
Sisters of Loretto
Inn at Loretto
Built on the ground of the former historic Loretto Academy, Catholic girls' school
Plaza
This historic plaza was the end of the 1800 mile Camino Real (Royal Road) from Mexico City, and the end of the 800 mile Santa Fe Trail from Missouri. It also was the beginning of the 1120 mile Old Spanish Trail terminating at the Los Angeles Plaza.
Palm Sunday Procession
They gathered in the Plaza for a "citywide ecumenical blessing of the palms and procession back to the Cathedral for a mass"
St. Francis Cathedral Basilica
Burro Alley
In former times, firewood vendors would haul it to this alley where buyers would come to purchase.

This afternoon I visited the Georgio O'Keefe Museum.
The Museum has a large collection of her work, but only a small portion is displayed at a time.
A nice selection of her work spanning her entire career was presented.
A 15-minute film details her life and work.
One room is devoted to photos of her in various stages of her life.

Later in the afternoon I drove 7 miles north on Highway 84 to see the Sante Fe Opera House. It is closed for the season. It is surrounded by the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez Mountains with an incredible view.
The Opera House is the white building behind the gate.
