JoAnn and I met with our good friends Robert and LuJean in Santa Fe, NM. We visited several art galleries and also explored the Bandalero National Monument. Here is a photo of our hotel, note the motif of the building which fits into the surrounding environment very well. |

After seeing several art galleries, we went out to the Bandalero National Monument. Here is a overlook of the road out the monument (must look closely to see it). |

Once at the visitor center, we took a short walk to a view point of Native American Indian dwellings in the side of a rock formation. |
The trip was excellent and we really had a good time.
