Bam!

Here is a picture of the cooking class that we took today. It was just awesome. The chef was incredible, has opened 7 Santa Fe Restaurants in Great Britain and has been a chef for a LONG time. We learned to make: Lime Marinated Salmon, Green Chile Scalloped Potatoes, Citrus Cilantro Dressing, Corn and Black Bean Salsa (to die for) and flan. It was just incredible. I cannot wait to go home and try it. This cooking school is famous world-wide. We then went to the plaza where the Indian vendors had their wares out for sale, beautiful jewelry, all hand made. I was good and did not buy a thing. Amazing. We walked around the historic section of Santa Fe until our feet wore out. It was a great day. It is nice and warm here in the daytime and cool in the evenings. Santa Fe is actually at 7,000 feet, higher than Denver. It is the highest state capitol in the USA. It is an incredibly beautiful city and boasts over 500 restaurants. It is by no means a large city but famous for its cuisine.
Tomorrow we head for Taos, about an hour north of here where I plan to get my best pictures. I can hardly wait. We are having a grand time. I highly recommend New Mexico for anyone wanting an exceptional vacation. I will try to send some "artsy" pictures tomorrow.
