santa fe, nm – day 1

June 22nd, 2009
by Michael

We rolled into Santa Fe, NM early this evening. The ride was good; we finally ventured off the interstate Road Trip 3 From Amarillo to Santa Feand took some secondary highways for the last three hours or so of our drive into Santa Fe. We meandered through the mesas dotted with Ponderosa pines, the scents actually filling the air as we sped 75 miles per hour (the posted speed limit) into the hills and then through the high lonesome planes. We drove three hours and passed scarcely as many cars in that time. The only signs of life were the occasional heads of cattle grazing in the distance.

Once in town, we grabbed some fish tacos from a local establishment and just relaxed on the upper deck of our rented house. I made a few photos. Here’s our view.
