Amelia E. White Park

We arrive at the park and the pups run around like the couped up madmen they were. Sid sat for a picture though, which was kind of him. Made me think of a child. "Okay, sit" "Now, look at me, no, not the other dog, look at me...okay good boy, now go play."
In the distance i saw an older man with white hair and a straw hat sitting on a bench with his dog. He looked interesting and as i sat down at a bench a few dozen feet away, i saw Gorilla run over and jump up on his bench for a greeting. I got up and followed his lead....

home?

Upon hearing the news that i was leaving for L.A. for a few months, my Georgia friends feared i may just pack up again and move there. Not a chance. But Santa Fe...now that's a different story. As i stroll towards the park with the perfect breeze at dusk and the most amazing clouds i've ever seen, i'm drawn to this place. Santa Fe makes me think of a cross between Santa Barbara and Tucson. A mix of arts, natural beauty and the culture and feel of a desert town. Very cool place, and i've only been here a couple hours, this could be dangerous...

clouds

I've never seen clouds this huge and white and beautiful, have you? i love this and take it all in as i take the pooches for a sunset stroll to a local park just 5 minutes down the side streets.

Food

Blissful but starving, I head to Whole Foods down the street for some food for myself and the pooches. They get ground beef, garlic and red potatoes tonight- yes, in case you haven't figured out yet in this blog, my dogs are spoiled.

Casita

The final hour towards Santa Fe I was all smiles. I was really excited to arrive and proud of myself for not freaking out being behind the wheel for the third long day in a row. This was my reward and nothing could deter me from it. At 5pm mountain time, we arrived at a Casita I rented for two nights, a little treat to myself after the nights of Red Roof and Best Western. It was owned by a couple and was situated at the back of their property. It couldn't have been any better than this...a little paradise i've been secretly dreaming of visiting for years...
