Hi from Santa Fe, New Mexico. So yesterday we wandered into the visitor centre in the main plaza in Santa Fe. We asked where would be a good place to try Mexican food. In a polite manner we were told by the lady behind the counter, you can’t get Mexican food in New Mexico, only New Mexican food, who would have thought, eh.

After checking out the Georgia O’Keeffe art gallery and browsing in a few of the 100’s of craft and art galleries, we went to a place called The Shed for lunch, to sample some New Mexican cuisine. Neither of us could really see or taste a difference, spicy with beans, rice and two types of chile sauces, except for one item, blue tortilla wraps, made from blue corn kernels.

After a splendid day wandering around Santa Fe we popped into Wholefoods to grab some bits for our evening meal, then we just had a quiet evening and went to the cinema

Today it’s on the road again, heading to Arizona and getting back on Route 66 and I’m looking forward to standing on a corner, at one of the stops 🙂
