We woke up warm in our casita. However, when we set out today for Santa Fe -- yikes! The temperature only just got above the mid-teens and the wind came cutting in every time we stepped out of the car. We did some shopping, with Mom getting some new Fiesta Ware to substitute for the lousy plates we bought six months ago.
In downtown Santa Fe, Mom and I smiled in the fountain because a big building blocked the wind and we had a lot of sunshine. Then we walked around downtown, planning our route to maximize the sun and get on the other side of buildings to cut the wind.
I really appreciated walking by all the Indians at the Plaza -- they had their stuff out on blankets down at my level where I could sniff it. Mom tells me they have some of the best jewelry in the whole area, and it did look beautiful. However, they also were fighting the cold, all bundled up in down parkas and wool blankets and, I would bet, waiting for the day to end.
By early afternoon, we were feeling that we had had enough and, after a stop at Whole Foods for supplies, went quickly back to our casita for a warm cozying in and an early New Year's Eve.
