Sunday and Monday

This is one of the only pictures we took at LosAlamos.  That's John standing in front of the Museum. Bradbury was one of the LosAlamos directors after WWII, not the author. It was more information than I could take in, more of the level that Elijah would be interested in and will someday understand.



While we have had lots of rain, it's made for some beautiful sunsets at the campground, looking out over the lake.

On Sunday we went to a canyon not far from the campground called Echo Amphitheater. It is a beautiful formation of sandstone and we walked up the trail, into the "echo chamber" where you could hear you own voice echo. Of course, Bob sang a song.

On Monday we went to Santa Fe.  We shopped, ate lunch, and visited a few sites.

This is along the edge of the Plaza where Native American vendors are sitting under the portico with their beautiful wares on blankets in front of them.  I bought a beautiful, black pot and Jane bought a necklace. That's her in the crosswalk, taking a picture.

Inside of Loretto Chapel

The spiral staircase has no support except where it fastens to the balcony and where it sits on the floor. Built in 1873, it is a mystery how it has remained suspended and supports a person on their way up to the balcony.
