Day 29 Midwest City, OK to Santa Fe, NM 553 miles

a BIG cross in Texas

Loretto Chapel 1863

miraculous staircase

oldest church in America

San Miguel Church
A long and VERY WINDY drive.  David had to keep both hands on the wheel for much of the morning.  We made good time and got here about 1:45 which gave us time do do some walking around.  It was especially nice after leaving at 6:45 this morning. We went from Central to Mountain time so the trip was 8 hours.

Texas was 176 miles of miles and miles and one very big cross.  Of course I guess this should be expected as things are always bigger in Texas!

Santa Fe is a very old city and it is evident in the historical parts of the city, especially the churches.  Inside the San Miguel Church is a bell with the date December 9, 1310!  Amazing.

It is also an artists community full of designer clothing shops, spas, and many, many jewelry and artists galleries.  Fun to look at but definitely not in my price range.  We ate dinner at one of the local establishments recommended to us and it was great.  Many places to chose from and they all looked excellent.
