Santa Fe

May 22,
We started our day in Santa Fe at the Farmer's Market. We bought the cats some organic catnip....they really enjoyed it, really got mellow......and it took two days to vacuum it all up. We then went to Loretto Chapel. The chapel had a choir loft that needed a staircase. In answer to the sister's novena, a carpenter appeared. He built a spiral staircase without center support or support from the sides. After the staircase was finished, the carpenter vanished without requesting payment.
We then went on a tour of Santa Fe, showing us the historic buildings and the many art communities. Our guide was a former history teacher so we got a few historic facts thrown in for free.. He talked of Kit Carson's moving of the Navajo, another example of man's inhumanity to man.
We finished our day in Santa Fe, walking around the Plaza, looking at the many items for sale and the unusual vehicles traveling on the old Route 66.
