We woke up to sunshine and went back to the historic district. Our first stop was the miracle staircase at the Loretto Chapel. It was built sometime between 1877 and 1881. The miraculous staircase took at least six months to build, and has two 360 degree turns with no visible means of support. It was one of those tourist things we had to see, but not the highlight of the trip.We headed up to "Museum Hill" where Santa Fe has four major museums overlooking the city. They were clustered around a lovely desert garden, plaza, cafe and sculpture garden. We went to the International Folk Art museum and Native American Culture Museum. Both were very well done and fun to visit. The weather stayed nice long enough for us to grill some burgers, but now it is really chilly. Snow in the mountains last night!

Sounds like the trip has migrated from majestic state forests to museums, attractions, and quaint towns at a good time. Glad to hear that the weather hasn't kept you two from having a good time.
