Santa Fe, Part Dos

We woke up in this magazine-worthy setting: But we had places to go, people to see!


Our schedule is just packed.
First up, horse riding!






Stick 'em up.

On our way to get the tire fixed, we saw this beautiful median, adopted by Cassidy's Landscaping, Inc. Let's keep Santa Fe beautiful! I love the way they used the Yield Sign. So artistic.

Next we went to the Plaza - the bustling center of Santa Fe!Gorgeous, cool, clear weather!




Love the hat.Lizzie made a few new friends as well:
At Gabriel's we ordered in Spanish and watched our guacamole prepared right in front of us!
Now it's opera time: Mozart's The Magic Flute.

The Santa Fe Opera has no walls. You watch the sun set during the show.
Erin was the Queen of the Night - literally, as well as her role title. She's the one in white, center stage - kind of hard to miss...
Here's a close-up of her costume. Bald cap + wig + outrageous Elizabethan dress = a terrifying queen. You better listen to her! Oh, what's that you say? You think this looks familiar somehow? Well, only if you've seen the new Alice in Wonderland...

Here's the Erin we know and love!

And I daresay, we love Santa Fe, too.
