Exploring Santa Fe

Started our day with breakfast at the Pantry restaurant. This is one of those "everybody knows your name" type of local places. Food was good, atmosphere was really good. We then drove down to the historic plaza in the middle of the city. Walked around looking at the Native American jewelry and other things they were selling and took in some sites around the plaza. From the plaza we walked over to St. Francis Cathedral, which is a cool old cathedral built very early in Santa Fe's history. To me the most interesting part of this cathedral, more than all the stained glass and artwork, was the flying Jesus over the altar (see pic below). Gotta say, never seen that before. Our next stop was Meow Wolf. I don't know what to call this exactly, kind of a fun house/art gallery/weirdness. It is set up like a house, with a lot of little rooms and passageways between the rooms. When you take a path or turn a corner you never really know what you're going to see. For example if you take one little hallway and open the door you come out of the refrigerator in another room, where you're greeted by some surprised people. Pretty fun and, this is important on a July afternoon in Santa Fe, indoors and air-conditioned. We ate dinner at the Santa Fe Capitol Grill where I went to the bathroom and for some reason the wife ordered both wings and nachos for us. There was a sh*t-ton of nachos and the wings were pretty spicy. We barely made a dent in the nachos before our food came. I had some really good green-chile fettuccine. Try it if you ever see it on a menu. After that meal we waddled back to our car and headed to the hotel for the night.
