Little People City

Driving into Santa Fe, I proclaimed that it was a midget city, since everything is only one story high. Liz promptly pointed out that midget is not PC and that they prefer being called little people. So Liz and I spent a day and a half in Little People City which was Am-Az-Ing! (Now Liz corrects herself and says they prefer to be called dwarfs - thanks TLC!) Santa Fe is absolutely precious with great architecture that is distinctive from anything else we had seen on the trip.

Santa Fe has lots and lots of galleries- the city is the third largest city for art right after New York and LA. Liz and I spent a day wondering from gallery to gallery. I found Pop, a modern art gallery that has one of the best collections I've seen in a very long time. Liz bought a couple of photos from Lisa Kristine. We also explored the Georgia O'Keeffe museum before we retired to our hotel to tan by poolside (we concluded she was not a lesbian - what a shock!). Again keeping with the theme of the trip, Liz and I did some amazing chowing. We had the "GarbageBurger" which included avocados, cheese, chili and whatever else was lying around the kitchen. Needless to say it was great though Liz and I are burgered out for a while. We also managed to squeeze in a couple of workouts before we hit the road for the Grand Canyon.
