Santa Fe and Albuquerque

[cos]

I'm in Santa Fe for several days for listgirl & Elena's wedding, and I'll probably have some free time. Suggest somewhere I should go, something I should do or see, someone I should meet, somewhere I should eat, or any permutation of the above?

I'm sharing a hotel room with mechristy, mostlylies, and rekling. Last night I dreamed that I was away somewhere, sharing a room with the three of them, for an event put on by mutual friends. I feel cheated by my dream-brain.

Do you have a car?

So, it being sukkot, there is the Cathedral of St. Francis (observe the front door carvings and find the oblique reference to the Jewish funding that went into building the cathedral).

I haven't had time yet to look for things, but this morning in between brunch and getting the wedding party ready we had a couple of hours and wandered downtown, and I asked "what's that church in scaffolding" so we went to it and then I saw the name and realized it was the place you'd commented on. We saw no sign of Jewish funding.

Then as we were leaving a tour bus stopped on the road in front so we stopped to listen, and he explained all about it and pointed it out. The reason we hadn't even had a chance to see it was that because of the restoration work, the main entrance is closed and we came in through the side door. There's scaffolding over the front but you can see if it through the bars if it's pointed out.
