After touring the Pueblo we rode back into Taos and
stopped for lunch at
El
Taoseno Restaurant. I liked it. Clint
wasn't quite as pleased and was feeling a little poorly.
After lunch he decided to go back to the Wal-Mart lot
and find a shady spot to rest. I rode back to the
downtown plaza, found a place to park and strolled the
shops and galleries. I met back up with Clint at 3 p.m.
and we headed back to Santa Fe with a small group taking
Hwy 68 back through the Rio Grande River Canyon. When we
got back we grabbed a few beers from the hospitality
room and made some sandwiches in our room for dinner.
Then we went to a safety officer meeting for the
Southwest Conference. That was actually pretty good. We
had an opportunity to showcase our reflective patches
and get the word out about them.
Our
room had a balcony but space was tight!
On Friday morning we were up for another early walk and
then made a run to a Laundromat to do some wash. Clint
was interested in attending the SW Conference business
meeting at 9 a.m. so he headed off to that. I walked
over to the shopping area near the hotel and was able to
scheduled an hour massage that worked out some of those
road kinks. I browsed around a book store and then went
over to Josh's Barbecue for lunch. I had a pulled pork
sandwich and it was really good. I tried their extra hot
BBQ sauce which was plenty hot.
I met up with Clint a little after noon and we got ready
for the ride into downtown Santa Fe. They took us on a
scenic loop around the outskirts and then into downtown. We were
escorted to a special free parking area on Lincoln Ave.
From there we ventured off on a walking tour of
downtown.
