I know 

Monday's post

was

 a 

long

 long

 long

 post 

lots of words

 lots of pictures

 but 

not
really
 great pictures

pictures

 of the hotel

 the room 

some food

 some sights 

the real 'tamales'

 are over

 on the

 artsy blog

 however

 there are photos 

I took

 that

 arent so artsy

 arent so touristy

 they're just things

 that 

caught my eye

 maybe they'll catch your eye too 

 painted
glass door
panes 

in

  La Fonda's La Plazuela

we breakfasted there our last day in Santa Fe

stained glass window 

in the 

Loretto Chapel

 in Santa Fe

 art is everywhere

 that

 includes 

random solo or group musicians 

playing for change

 this star 

was hanging 

in the window of a shop,

 name of which is eluding me

 its plastic

it gives off lovely light

 can you guess 

what sort of establishment 

would have bright stools like this?

ice cream parlor 

of course!

 last 

but 

certainly not least 

are the characters 

young 

old 

and

 in between

 who populate the main plaza

I wish

 I'd been able 

to get

 a clear shot 

of the man sitting 

with

 the guy in fur 

 he was also quite the character

Santa Fe 

is a lot

 like 

NYC

 in that 

no one

 seems to think

 being unique 

is 

unusual

 and 

that

 my friends

 is 

a

 good 

thing
