Sitting in Santa Fe Part Two

Hey everybody 👋

We spent all of September in Santa Fe sitting with little Giada (seen here helping with Mexican Train dominos game). 👀

Beautiful clouds just south of town. ☁

I went to a cooking class at the Santa Fe School of Cooking with our friends Michael and Carol (who came up from Austin). 🥘

Delicious pork with apple cider sauce, corn flan, and sweet potatoes. Yum! 😋

Michael and I have been friends for 40+ years - so damn lucky! 🙏

We took a stroll along the Canyon Road galleries. 🖼️

We had a wonderful time and hope to return next September! 👋

P.S. We bought an actual camera (Nikon P950) so we hope to get better zoom photos going forward. Here is one from the full moon in Santa Fe.😳
