Santa Fe is a beautiful city full of adobe and stucco buildings, old churches, and local artwork. It is also about 7,000 feet above sea level, compared to Austin’s 425. In my enthusiasm to see everything and show my dad around the city, I seem to have come down with a mild case of “altitude sickness”—headache and fatigue being the worst of it. So 3:00 I decided to take it easy and went back to the hotel. I hope I feel better tomorrow; Taos is about 9,000 feet though so I’ll have to get used to it all again Tuesday.
At the very least, I’m enjoying the food here. As one of the locals told us today, “Bad restaurants just don’t last here.” How true! You’d have to try very hard to have a bad meal in Santa Fe.
