Santa Fe was absolutely beautiful. It's like you've stepped into another country. All of the buildings were in a traditional style. It felt like being on the set of a movie. Also, the people in Santa Fe were really nice....reminded me of Edinburgh.
Quentin flew in from London and we drove down to Albuquerque to pick him up.
We left Santa Fe three hours later than Danny had asked us to be ready on the Friday morning - mainly because I wanted Q to see the Square before we left. As we were walking around we found the famous markets that I had read about in my '1001 places to see before you die' book (which for future reference is rubbish - the book, that is). The vendors were all in a line under a canopy with their hand crafted jewelry in front of them displayed on traditional woolen blankets. Everything was really well made and Q and I spent quite a while picking out things to buy while Danny sat in the car getting all het up (I love that man). The people were all really friendly and their faces looked like they could have told 1000 stories. Shopping done, we jumped in the car and began our longest journey yet. 10 hours! We reached the Rockies at dusk and spent the last three hours of the journey winding through some of the most spectacular scenery we've ever seen. We reached our hotel at around 8pm, unloaded, and the men promptly left to find a well earned beverage while I soaked in the tub. The next three days will be spent on the slopes and keeping Q away from the pretty Aspen girls.
PS - big thanks to Mike Blaich for telling us about Santa Fe and to Leah for setting us up in Snowmass. We love free lift passes!!!!
PPS - if you're reading this on Facebook, you need to go across to our blog to view the movies as they don't synch up with Facebook: www.carneyroadtrip.com
