We've stopped at Santa Fe for the day. Here's a few places we visited on way to Santa Fe.
Quemado NM. A beautiful little adobe church & an old time cementary.
Then we went through the narrows and saw this amazing natural arch
Then off to Santa Fe - Plaza. Mom & Dad told us about this mission with a staircase made w/o any nails, but there was a wedding being held so the mission was closed. Here's a few photos of the outside though.
Since the mission was closed we visited St. Frances church & just happened to make it in time for Saturday evening mass. What a beautiful church it was.

Tomorrow's destination is Colorado Springs, CO. We are going to Pikes Peak Cog Railway, the Air Force Academy and HOPEFULLY a bike ride (ditch the parents). We plan on staying in Colorado Springs a few days at least! We'll give Dain (our driver) a rest/break.
I loved Santa Fee and that area. Too bad the staircase is not available, it is amazing.
