Our day at the Plaza in Santa Fe.

Today we went to the absolutely wonderful brand spanking new New Mexico History Museum just behind the Palace of the Governor's on the Plaza in Santa Fe. They have done a wonderful job creating an extraordinary special place to learn about the history of our state and to appreciate the richness of this amazing place we call home now.

Afterwards we went to lunch at the Plaze Cafe which is our favorite restaurant on the Plaza. The food there is always fantastic.

Below is one of the many interesting sculptures which make the Plaza so interesting and fun.

The Plaza Cafe, Santa Fe

The Plaza Cafe in Santa Fe bills itself as the oldest restaurant in the city, in business since 1918. We went there for the first time on Christmas Eve for lunch while we shopped on the Plaza. It met all of our tests -- including the spicy green chile requirement. WOW - Carlos and I were grabbing for the sopaipillas to cool off our mouths.

What we didn't try -- and we should have -- was the biggest draw at the restaurant -- the incredible desserts. John got a few pictures of them:





Next time I am going to splurge and have one one those -- but the choice will be the hardest part!
