After breakfast at the condo we walked to the Plaza to go to the Georgia Okeeffe museum. Francis and her friend from VA waved to us from the trolley as we walked to the museum. We paid the $12 admission and watched the overview movie of her life which was an excellent movie. She met NY studio owner and photographer Alfred Stieglitz and began a relationship by mail. She eventually moved in with him in NY where he created a series of nudes featuring her. They eventually married in 1924 and spent summers on Lake George in NY before her visit to NM in 1929. She eventually moved there permanently when he died in 1946. Loved the museum and seeing her watercolors and oils in real life. We then walked the palace of the governors and talked to the Indian woman who was selling Navajo sand paintings. She does not take credit cards. Walked to the Shed and had a lunch of Carne Adevada and a Santa Fe Brewing Co beer, 16 oz. Very very good meal of traditional New Mexican fare. We stopped in a few galleries on the return trip then crashed at the condo after a very tiring afternoon of non stop walking. It rained again and this time we drove out to dinner at La Choza against the tracks about a mile south of the condo. I was interested in the indian restaurant, Raagu which is rated the second best restaurant in Santa Fe according to Trip Advisor. I got the tethering app working on my phone reliably hooked by cable to the laptop.
