After Breakfast we headed an hour north-northwest to Abiquiu. After visiting Ghost Ranch, Georgia O’Keeffe’s first home in 1934, we hiked up to Chimney Rock and enjoyed a fantastic view!

On the way back we stopped at “Georgia O’Keeffe’s Inn” making a Reservation for a guided tour of Georgia’s house she bought in 1940 and lived there until her death in 1986 for the next day.

Back in Santa Fe and after a good Margarita we visited “The house of eternal return” 70 rooms of immersive Art created by Meow Wolf.

We finished the day as every day in Santa Fe, at Evangelo’s with live music.

We took it easy yesterday. We started to explore Santa Fe but got distracted by the beautiful shops and so ended up shopping for a few hours.

We then visited the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi followed with a very interesting visit to the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts.

Enjoyed lunch is a nearly quiet square before having margaritas.

As a last minute decision we managed to se ure the last two tickets to see Charley Crockett, Texas country blues singer/songwriter. What a concert!! He has an amazing voice and dance style that will take him far.

After the concert we went back Evangelos for a night cap.

We left the “Garden of the Gods” after a healthy breakfast towards NM on a sunny morning. First stop was “Pueblo”, one of the largest steel-producing cities in the US situated at the confluence of the Arkansas River and Fountain Creek.

Capulin Volcano

We drove on and crossed into New Mexico following the Santa Fe trail with dramatic weather changes. Our second stop was Capulin Volcano near Raton. We drove up to the rim and walked down to the crater. Capulin Vulcano which was active 600,000 and sits at over 8,000ft / 2400m.

Nightlife in Santa Fe

We made it into Santa Fe just in time for good margaritas and a walk through town before dinner. After dinner, we stopped at a local bar with live music. It was a jam session where anyone could play. Evangelo’s has been around since the 70s, owned by a Greek immigrant who fought in WW2 and became famous with the below picture taken by Eugene Smith.
