The Riders arrived in Santa Fe on Saturday after a long long drive thru Kansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. The drive was beautiful with prairies, deserts, mountains, cows and an antelope. Well I just described all that is there so now you don't have to go.
The Riders decided to treat themselves to a resort so we found some native Americans and booked a couple of days at the Buffalo Thunder Resort. It was great, beautiful room and pool and they served strawberry daiquiris which as everyone knows is the Riders favorite resort pool beverage.
It was Indian Market weekend in Santa Fe, I guess Native American Market just takes too long to say. I have never seen so many exhibits of beads, dolls, turquoise jewelry and great art.
On the recommendation of Jose our parking lot attendant we tried a breakfast place named Tia Sophia"s. It was great , Carl was very friendly and provided great service,. The Huevous Rancheros were tasty and spicy.
Then we just started to wander around and ended up crashing an private art opening. The smell of Bloody Marys drew us in, The Riders cannot pass up free drinks. The featured artist was an old cowboy named Gib Singleton, who grew up in Westport Connecticut.
His art was beautiful but $15,000 is a little more than the Riders can afford to pay for a statue of Billy the Kid even thought Bill is one of our heroes. Who doesn't love a 21 year old killer who liked to have his picture taken? Instead we decided to get a $20 poster and have it signed by the artist. Gail,of course ,learned all about not only Gil but also everyone else in line. Hve to go heading for LA will finish later
