Thanks to Montezuma’s Revenge, we moved slower this day, but
we did keep going. We went down to check out Canyon Road. This is a mile long
stretch of artists and well known for the exquisite art shops. Originally this
was a neighborhood of adobe homes. While the contents were interesting, it was
the adobe rooms and design that held my attention.
We walked about a half mile looking in the shops…art,
pottery, clothes and cowboy/cowgirl antiques. I found one thing I really liked,
and it was a wooden vase shiny with wax and smooth from hand sanding. It had a
price of $1100 so I guess you know it stayed in Santa Fe.
At that point a clerk recommended we eat at TEA HOUSE at the
end of the mile. It was a plain square building. Inside was clean and sparse,
no frills at all. But when I saw a whole wall of clear jars filled with loose
tea, I knew someone was serious about their drink. The menu was full of new or
different food combinations. DH had a
Classic BLT made with Burrata cheese, a new one to us. I had half a Panini made
with Irish cheese and a spectacular salad. The salad was roasted pear, arugula,
prosciutto, and a type of parmesan cheese…out of this world good!
After a delightful lunch we went to the capitol building,
the only round one in the country. The building was quiet as legislators were
not in session. The second floor is devoted to hallways lined with art work…the
first floor is a place for special exhibits. We found art work here devoted to
expressing some facet of the book or reading. It was a lovely and relaxing time
in this building.

LOVE the recycled buffalo.
And the adobe buildings.
Lunch sounded pretty good too.
I hope the 'revenge' has gone.
Ha! That buffalo. But oh the wonder of those buildings. I would like to have seen that! I saw a painting in OK once that I wanted, but it was out of my price range, too.
Glad you recovered enough to visit all these interesting places.....
Oh NOOOO. Montezuma's Revenge is NOT fun. Glad you are still able to peculate. I LOVE Santa Fe, Bookie. Just love it. Great post! Susan
Sounds like you've been busy traveling... and I recently was in New Mexico and all the places in between St. Louis and Los Angeles, California. Rode with my daughter to pick up my son - round-trip-whirlwind seven days in the car. But we had so much fun. Who knows, I may have passed you on the road! Hope you had a good birthday!
