After Durango, Colorado, my next stop was Sante Fe, New Mexico. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way I managed to catch a cold. So I holed up in Sante Fe for three nights to be miserable in comfort.
The annoying part was that I've only been here once before and I was miserable with a cold that time too. So, although I've spent some time in Sante Fe, I can't say I've really had a chance to appreciate it.
I found a good but uncrowded coffee shop (35° North) where I could spend some time before returning to my room for a nap. I enjoyed the Georgia O'Keeffe museum. I found a couple of good restaurants - El Maison (tapas with live jazz), and TerraCotta Wine Bistro - although I wasn't at my best to enjoy them.
I managed only a couple of photos (with my phone). The Christmas lights were nice in the plaza:
Dried chilies are common in the southwest, but I hadn't seen them as Christmas decorations before:
This set of chilies was about 5 feet long, hanging on the side of a community building.
I stayed in a small hotel close to the plaza - The Luxx. It was quiet and the room was fine, but it wasn't anything special. I might look for an alternative if I visited again.
Hopefully over the worst of my cold, I'm continuing on towards paragliding and hiking.
