On Sunday, April 20, we received a phone call from friends we met in Mississippi while doing hurricane relief. Jay and Betty are from Delaware and have been in the west doing some other volunteer work and vacationing. They were only about 200 miles away and had planned to come to Santa Fe. They did not even know we were here….just called to see where we were in case they might be able to meet up with us somewhere. So they were quite surprised to find us here. They drove on over here on Monday and we had a great time in the afternoon visiting. They stayed here for dinner and we then played Mexican Train, one of our favorite games. On Tuesday we all went to the down town area of Santa Fe. Most of the buildings in downtown have a Southwest style architecture. We walked around the plaza, shopping in some of the many, many jewelry stores and the Governor’s Palace where the Indians set up their handcrafted jewelry on the sidewalk.
