We're almost to the Balloon Fiesta, but first we stopped for a couple of days at a Corps of Engineers park in Pena Blanca, New Mexico. It's about 20 miles from Albuquerque and half way between that city and Santa Fe. We are all going to the festival camp area together so we'll be parked as a group. This gives us a chance to do some sight seeing in Santa Fe. The COE park only has power and water so we did laundry at a laundromat for the first time in I don't know how long. Needed to do that since the festival camp is dry.
We went for lunch and window shopping in Old Town Santa Fe...
Above is the central square around which most towns in this area are built.
Next is Tom by the covered walkways which surround the Governor's Palace. It is now a museum and shops for tourists.
The main attraction here is the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, it is open and they allow photos of the inside.
It is simply gorgeous,
The stained glass windows were breath taking.
And this is the round window you see from the outside in the first picture. The
tubes are pipes for the organ.
