Spent today in Santa Fe, NM.  This is the Church of St. Francis of Assisi in Santa Fe.  The church sits on the site of the original mission in 1610.  Think of the history, Jamestown was founded in 1607 by the British, Quebec founded in 1608 by the French and Santa Fe in 1610 by the Spanish. 
Here is St. Francis.

Old town Santa Fe is an amazing place.  All of the architecture is relevant to southwestern styles.  It is filled with small shops and galleries. 

Some are a little more laid back.
This is the front of the Governor's Palace.  Native Americans are selling wares off of blankets in the portico.

Public art is everywhere not always serious.

The New Mexico Museum of Art.

Spent the evening at Rolling Thunder Casino outside Santa Fe.  Tomorrow a big chunk as I drive from here to Oklahoma City.
