The High and The Low


One of the highlights of our trip across America was a stop in Santa Fe. I had heard forever about this little town in New Mexico, but had never had the opportunity to visit it. I think that it exceeded all of our expectations. Coming from Boston, we thought that we had the oldest buildings in America in our town. However, we were humbled when we walked past the Palace of the Governors and the oldest church in America, the San Miguel Chapel which was built in 1610. We window shopped for turquoise jewelery dried peppers and great hats.
We ate burritos and taquetos in a little Mexican cafe and enjoyed ice cream in the main square. Unfortunately, Sante Fe was also the spot where all six kids were diagnosed with strep throat. We spent hours in the doctor's office and even more time trying to fill prescriptions. All travel has it's adventures, both good and bad!
