Santa Fe, NM

We're going south again to Santa Fe. Surprisingly, Santa Fe is at an even higher elevation (7,100') than Taos. We're at Santa Fe Skies RV Park, where we plan to stay for awhile to receive mail and do another couple of fixes to the RV (installing a new window blind for the entry door and replacing a faulty manifold switch on the hydraulic system).



One of the first orders of business is to check out the food scene, and I'm wanting to try Dr. Field Goods Kitchen. It's one I saw on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, and the food on the show always looks good. I have the New Mexican, a pulled pork sandwich topped with cheddar cheese, green chile, and apple-jicama slaw, and Tom has the Bad Ass BLT, a bacon patty (instead of strips) cooked in a wood fired oven with lettuce and tomato. Hate to say it, but mine was "Meh." 


One of the fixes during this stopover was the window blind on the entry door. The old pull shade gave out and had been banging around for awhile. So, we checked out Lowe's then Home Depot to see if we could find a replacement. Finding one small enough for the door was a challenge. We finally settled on an accordion style one. Tom did a great job getting it cut down to size and installing it.

Santa Fe has a farmer's market at the Railyard downtown, and it's always fun to see what the local products are. This time of year though, it is predominantly root vegetables and dried chiles.   






Last day in Santa Fe...yeah...so much for warm...


...and one last dinner (and a couple of drinks) at a quirky fun little restaurant in old town Santa Fe called the Shed...
