santa fe is a beautiful town! our first person to visit was shalie gasper, a good family friend. her big brother charles went out with my sister athena for many years and thus is the gasper family friends of ours. shalie took time to show us around town which was really fun!! first she took us to the museum of international folk art which was amazing. so many colors, shapes, and interesting figures from all over the world.

then shalie took us to canyon road which is a street of high end art galleries. a very nice area indeed. i was offered a job in one of the galleries. if i were not traveling and if i was looking for a job right now, i just might have taken it. but it's too soon for me to make any long term commitments, so i had to turn it down. but it is nice to know that i can just walk into a place and be offered a job!!

we spent the night in front of shalie's house and the next day we met up with her on her lunch break and we went to the best new mexican food place in town, the shed, and wondered around the downtown area.
