Sante Fe Trip

We went to Sante Fe from the 12th-16th and stayed at our Worldmark Timeshare. We dropped Abby off at Jan's about noon and headed out. The room was great but the complex is pretty small with no pool or workout facility. The good part was that it was very close to the plaza, within walking distance.

We walked down to the rail yard district & ate at Cowgirls. OK but not great!

The forecast for the week was to be hot and not much chance of rain. We decided to take out walking early in the morning and get back before it got too hot. We started out with gps loaded and hunted caches and a Subway until 3:00 in the afternoon. 9 1/2 miles, 19 caches, and a sandwich later we got back to the room. We stayed out too long in the heat and we were really tired and hot. Took showers and naps and we were ready to go again. Took a short walk to plaza after dinner.

The next day we started out early again. We found a biking and walking path across town that had a lot of caches so we headed there. We found 10 caches, walked about 4 1/2 miles, went to Sam's and got back to the room about 12:30. I showered and went shopping. Don took a nap and watched movies. Marilyn had recommended Maria's for Mexican food and it was great. Thanks Marilyn. We had enough left over that we had it again on Thursday night.

Thursday we did the same routine except starting on the other end of the path and found 9 more caches. I went shopping again. That evening we walked down to the plaza again. They had bands playing each night for entertaining the tourist. Good music and people watching. WE didn't do any dancing!

It did cool down a little bit both Wed and Thurs evening because a cloud blew in and had a few sprinkles of rain. That was nice.

We got up on Friday, packed and checked out! Ready to get back to the cooler weather and Abby.

We saw lots of Sante Fe during the week, found a total of 42 caches & ate some good Mexican food.

On the way home we found a cache at the old Nogal Mercantile and ate a really good chili burger in Carrizozo. Abby was glad to see us but she had a great time at Jan & Charlie's.

Other happenings in my life last week:
Kenna took Mom back to OKC after 3 wks and Mom got her cast off. She will be wearing a soft cast for a while. Kenna took her shopping and ran errands before she went back home. Mom will be having home health care come in for rehab and helping her with her bathes for 3 or 4 wks. Some of the pain went away when they removed the cast. That's good.

Played pickelball today. Played a guy a couple of games of singles after the doubles play and got really hot. I guess I didn't drink enough. Felt tired, chills and a few craps. Recovered quickly after a nap, banana, & a coke. Can't wait to play on Tuesday.
