We enjoyed our time here in Santa Fe, population 63.000, except for the wind which blew nearly every day. We were told by some locals that the wind blowing so hard was unusual this year. The mobile home park we are in is quiet and located in the middle of the city so we can to get most anywhere in just a few minutes. We walked every day except the last one, due to rain, on a paved trail that ran alongside an arroyo. We parked our car at a small park and could walk on the trail either East or West for a mile and then back. The trail is uphill just enough to give us a good workout. We did enjoy having this walking trail, which is comparable to the one in Carlsbad but not as beautiful. This trail was used quite a bit by bicyclers so we had to be very careful to stay to the right side of the trail. As usual, when the time comes to leave, we are ready to move on and anticipating what we will see and do at the next stop.
