It was a girls day of fun in Santa Fe today. We road the Rail Runner this morning, walked through the farmer's market and then began our journey into the heart of Santa Fe.
Whilst (E-'s word!) walking, we happened upon the State Capitol building which surprisingly was open and air-conditioned! No one there, so it was fun to roam around and check out the Senate and House chambers and see how many doors we could get open:)
Next stop was the oldest church in the U.S.A. - best tour for $1! Girls really enjoyed the history from the docent. No outside pics as they are re-constructing the bell tower.
Around the corner a stop at the oldest house in America - bummer it was closed.
A little shopping and then a look at the Loretta Chapel's famous spiral staircase. Even a movie made of this amazing architectural structure - The Staircase with Barbara Hershey.
Before heading to mass, we checked out a couple art galleries. The coolest was Eggman and Walrus - great name. The girls even got to add their touch to one of the exhibits.
Last stop of the day, mass at the cathedral. Sweet little children's choir returned after summer break. Cutest little boy made us smile as he belted out the music in Spanish...wish I could have photographed him!
Ah - Santa Fe! Always makes me feel like I am on vacation:)
This is the Loretta Inn and Spa - tell my husband to take me here!
