36th Wedding anniversary!


Woah! Who have believed all those years ago that we would be spending our 36th in such a great place. We stayed in a beautiful B & B - The Water Inn. I hadn't wanted to leave our lovely camp site in Sante Fe but the contrast was great.
Spent our days visiting gorgeous galleries, sampling the rather good margaritas at Maria's, watching the mariachi bands lead the newly weds around the square. Sampling the great tortillas, loving the flamenco guitars and of course the opera.
Roger bought me a beautiful bracelet and as he gave it me one of the guys behind said "That's a great band, where did you get it from. Roger explained where he got it from and said that it was our wedding anniversary. As we got up to leave the waitress brought us more margaratas!!! We finished these quickly before the rest of the restaurant could "help us celebrate some more!"
Lovely time though.

TheSanta Fe Opera House was just fantastic, we arrived early and had a "tail gate" dinner. The performance was just stunning. At first I
thought the set looked a bit boring BUT when Natalie Dessay exploded onto the stage with her bright red hair and cerise dress, it was all on. Music, drama, and a great theatrical experience.
