We had to rush lunch just a bit so we could make it back in time to head out for our spa appointment. Leslie and I had Japanese Organic Massage Facials at Ten Thousand Waves Spa, an experience I'd love to repeat. The spa is up in the mountains a bit, just a few miles from Santa Fe. Beautiful setting, and a very nice atmosphere. The facial was delightful, and I found hair barrettes made with kimono fabric that I had to have, along with a little glazed turtle.
For Dinner, we went to Maria's New Mexican Kitchen. With a hundred margaritas on the menu, you know we had to have one! The house margarita was decent, but paled in comparison to the Sauza Commemorativo margarita. I had a tamale plate - one pork and one vegetarian. Delicious, and just the right amount of food. Leslie had the veggie fajitas, and My Tall Guy had the combination plate with a little bit of everything.
Friday morning, the girls were in rare form for our walk - they were zippy enough that we walked almost to the Plaza and back - over 2 miles!
There was no lounging around Friday morning! We had a mission to accomplish for the last day in Santa Fe - find some art. We shopped until My Tall Guy dropped, and then after he was restored by lunch at Plaza Cafe, we did it again. The menu is eclectic, to say the least: New Mexican dishes, Greek dishes, and American comfort food. I went with a burger topped with portabella mushrooms and cactus. It was huge and quite tasty. Very good fries as well. I brought the remainder of my burger home as a treat for Delilah and Jezebel.
It took coffee at Downtown Subscription to keep us going, but we ended up with some great wood carvings, pottery, and a few other odds and ends. One of my favorite Canyon Road galleries turned out to be La Mesa, not that I managed to see more than a small fraction of them...
