Friday - Free at Last

Too much togetherness can go only so far. Bob/Rob/Robert wanted to go for a hike and I wanted to go downtown to go shopping. He dropped me off near the plaza and headed off for Atalaya Mountains. He had great weather for hiking especially after a day of rain.

I spent the afternoon wandering around the plaza area. I found two more stores that specialize in handwoven clothing. It was also fun to just wander in and out of stores spending as much time as I wanted in each store. For as many times as I have been to Santa Fe this was the first time that I have been able to shop around by myself. I had no one tapping their foot foot, looking at their watch or asking me how much longer I was going to be. I did have to consult my map a couple of times as I got disoriented, but I always found my way back to the plaza. I was able to more closely check out the jewelry being sold by the Indians in front of the Governors Palace. I did satisfy my curiosity and went back to a store that sold liquid silver necklaces. I wanted to see if they had them for a better price than what I paid. They were more expensive, so I felt better.

I will add pictures later. Santa Fe becomes a different place on the weekend.
