I had some free time at the end of last week due to some faulty equipment.  Fortunately, we happened to be Santa Fe and took advantage of the many restaurants and bars in the old school downtown they have.  They are between tourists seasons in Santa Fe this time of year.  Between the end of the late summer/early fall Fiestas and the ski season, the town is pretty quiet.  But we still managed to catch some live music and eat a wide variety of good food and sample a bunch of local brews.

On Thursday, I got a chance to do a little hiking the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.  I haven’t hiked at that kind of elevation for a long time, so keeping moderate pace was mandatory.  There was some snow up there, but nothing that would have required an upgrade in footwear.  It’s tougher to trek in mountains, but there is plenty of great views to reward the determined.

Only a few days until I head back to Wisconsin!  See you Saturday, Cheeseheads.
