After leaving Amarillo we overnight in Albuquerque and dined that evening a very nice Asian Restaurant. The assistant manager who looked after us this evening had a very familiar face and when we asked had we met before he mentioned that he had done a lot of work on the Food Network channel and had been one of the assistant chef's to the likes of Bobby Flay et al. He even organized a deep fried banana dessert for us which was on the house.
When we walked out of the restaurant we were saw this magnificent tree.
We arrived Santa Fe around lunch time and the weather was crisp and clear however by night fall we were delighted to see some snow.
The Plaza was a flood of lights and this was enhanced by the dusting of snow. Our Canadian and Northern States friends will say "this is not snow", but for us it was a real thrill as we have not seen snow for 12 months and for 2 kids from Australia snow always makes us feel happy.
We are staying at the La Fonda Hotel which is a very historic place. It also has a huge gingerbread house which children cannot resist wanting to touch.
Located in the hotel is a the French Crepe House. We have become a real fan of this little French looking place who serve the most delicious crepes.
Apart from their amazing array of pastries they also offer animal breads over the Christmas period.
Another example of their delicious foods is this attractive chocolate log.
Santa Fe is alive with lots of art, culture, food and offers so much to see and do. So, much more to follow.
Cheers, Beverley and Ross
