Santa Fe Birthday
We both took a ride on the Rail Runner up to Santa Fe on September 3 and celebrated my (Paul's) birthday with the Finance Office Staff with a lunch at Thomasita's. It was just a good day off from packing and doing all those jobs around the house. I may be doing some contractual work with the budget this fall, so that was all discussed and promised to be set up.


After lunch we took a look in the shops around the plaza. One such shop was selling paper flowers and that gave rise to a photo-op which I took advantage of.

Actually next week is Santa Fe's 400th birthday or anniversary, shared with two other North American cities; Quebec City and Jamestown, Virginia. The other two cities planned their celebration for the past few years and had big celebrations and lots of tourists. Santa Fe? Well, they'll think about it sometime. Man~ana is always the attitude in northern New Mexico
