For this trip we rented a casita with mountain views. Getting a mountain view is unusual in Santa Fe. We loved the location of our rental because we felt like we were outside of town with the views, but it was only a 10 to 15 minute drive to the Plaza. Here is a photo that shows the views from the upper patio. In the afternoons we would sit and watch the light change over the mountains.
On one of our last days we went to Pecos National Park to see the Indian ruins. The Pecos Pueblo was abandoned in the late 19th century. Here I am standing by the ruins of the 1717 church.
This is a picture of the church.

Steve is climbing into a kiva that has been rebuilt. Kivas were used by the Native Americans for ceremonies and sacred rituals.
There had been some rain, and this cactus took advantage of the water and bloomed.
