I told him to not wake me up when he left for work. Hey.....I was on vacation.
Paul and I got up around 7:30am and just spent our time taking our time. He drank coffee, we showered, we both got on the internet for awhile. The plan for the day was no plan.....except for meeting Aaron for lunch.
We left his house about an hour before we had to meet him.....so we just drove around and checked out the city. And even good old Detective Paul managed to find a somewhat boring restaurant supply store for us to visit. We met him for lunch at a place called Mucho's (which really had almost the same menu as Baggins). Had to have our green chiles for the day.
I chose the Philly Cheesesteak with green chiles, Paul chose a Cuban Sandwich and Aaron opted for the Meatball/Pepperoni.
After lunch we headed for the Plaza, where we planned to spend some time (and money). Because it was Monday, we ran into the problem of all the cool museums being closed....so we entertained ourselves by shopping, going into one boring museum that happened to be open, and checking out the Cathedral. This was the most beautiful church I have ever been in. What a calm and beautiful place this was to visit.
For some reason I didn't take any pictures in the Plaza this time......so here's one I borrowed from the internet.
And here's some I took last year when we visited. Hard to capture the beauty in pictures......it really is a very unique place to visit (and shop)!
The weather started getting really chilly and we needed a nap.....so back to Aaron's we went.
After freshening up and Aaron coming home (and drinking a couple of beers), the decision had been made that we had to eat authentic New Mexican Mexican food. Aaron told us the best place in town was Tomasita's and it just happened to be an old converted train depot station.
That food was seriously legit and we gorged ourselves on a dinner that Paul and I shared: 1 rolled enchilada, 1 tamale, 1 relleno, 1 taco, rice, beans and red and green chile. It was so delicious.....but seriously that was too much food for 2 people......but we enjoyed every bite.
Had to take a picture to commemorate our trip. We sure didn't take very many pictures this trip.
The entertainment for the evening was chosen by Paul. He had been bugging us for 2 days about going to this place and seeing an independent film. We finally gave in and relented and we are so glad that we did. It was held at this little performing arts place in a kinda out of the way place.
Aaron took a place of the inside......small, cozy, and EXTREMELY comfortable chairs. We definitely didn't have to worry about a crowd....there ended up being only 7 of us in the movie.
After leaving the AWESOME movie......yes I said awesome.....we had to admit to Paul that it was a really great idea to go and see it.
Another late night home and Aaron needed to get up early for work again. We really enjoyed our last night in Santa Fe.
