A quieter and slower pace day in Santa Fe. We went to the Georgia O’Keeffe museum this morning. I can’t say that I was impressed. I love her flower pictures and abstracts and they didn’t have many of those. We walked around downtown for a bit and then returned to our condo. Parking in downtown Santa Fe is a challenge! Kathy walked to meet us and Laura and I took the car.
We all took naps when we returned to the condo and rested. We finally went out for a late lunch. The restaurant we ate at was in the mall so we walked around for a bit after we ate. I went to the nearby Sprouts Market and got a jar of Manuka honey. Kathy and Laura walked around the shops in the mall.
This evening is the concert. I attended one of their concerts several years ago in Phoenix but this is the first one Kathy and Laura have gone to. Deva Premal and Miten make beautiful music together. I love how they keep their egos out-of-the-way and allow their music to shine. I’m looking forward to the concert tonight.
It felt good to have a quiet day. I was getting tired of sitting in a car. We have a long drive ahead of us tomorrow and Wednesday and it felt good to stay out of the car most of the day.
The condo has worked really well. We each had our own bedroom and it has a comfortable living room to relax in. It hasn’t felt like we were trapped inside a small hotel room. We each could get some private space here.
There is a little park next door so we stopped and walked in it on the way home. We had a bird’s eye view of the city. Beautiful!
A few sprinkles today but the sun keeps returning. It is so nice and comfortable here if you stay out of the direct sun. The evenings are so cool they make good sleeping.
Nicole called today. I hadn’t talked to her for several days so it was good to hear from her. She is leaving Thursday for a motorcycle adventure. I am staying in her house next weekend as I will be in KC for a retreat. I’m sorry she will be out-of-town and I won’t get to see her. She gets home Monday and I am returning home Sunday evening.
I get home Wednesday and leave again Friday. Wish I could have spread out my adventures a bit but both were dictated by someone else setting the date for the thing I wanted to do. I bet by next Monday I will be glad to be home and stay home for a bit.
Every time I travel it reminds me I need to do it more often. I forget to go places. Our country is so beautiful and so varied. Lots of things to do and see. I learn something new about myself every time I travel. It also helps me fall in love with my house again! There is no place like home!
