This morning we packed up everything and chose not to do the hotel breakfast. We said our goodbys and went to mcDonalds for breakfast. Met John and Judy there then went back to get our suitcases and check out. We had a beautiful leisurely drive up the Turquoise Trail to Santa Fe, stopping in Golden and Madrid on the way. We admired silver, turquoise, sculpture and paintings on the trip. We went straight to the condo then took a walk to the Plaza and bought admission to the NM History Museum which included the Palace of the Governors. The History Museum was quite good,, I learned a lot. We talked to John from the lobby of the museum, he recommended starting next door at the Governors and working our way chronologically. On our way to the Plaza we had a nice lunch at Cowgirls Taproom. I had the Carne Avocada which seems to be a New Mexico thing. It is tender pork marinated with oregano and other sauces. It was in Red Chile and accompanied by rice and beans. I washed it down with a Shiner Bock. After we went back to the condo it started raining with thunder and lightning. We went out in the rain and had a Pepperoni Pizza and a beer at Pranza Italian Grill which is a restaurant in a renovated warehouse. The crust was very uniquely thin but flavor was good. After dinner we found Albertsons and bought cereal, bananas blueberries and milk for breakfast. There was a beautiful full rainbow in the dark rain clouds. Of course the sun was shinning as well. It was a full day.
