Trip to Santa Fe (Aug 5 2011)

Here comes the Rail Runner to take us to Santa Fe
which is about 60 miles away.  It will be at least
one hours ride.

We loaded up on the car with the platform
that accommodates strollers and wheel chairs.
It is a two story train, so you can sit upstairs too.

Logan stayed in his stroller during the ride.
He was a very good boy and was patient.

St. Francis of Assisi is a saint that is in tune
with nature and loves animals that lived in the 1700's.
 This is an old Catholic Chapel that was built in the
late 1800's or possibly early 1900's.  We decided to visit this one because
we went to the Loretto Chapel with the miricle staircase
that is so famous the last time we came the the
Webster Family to Santa Fe.

This is a stone saying that it is dedicated to the
early settlers of Santa Fe.

A closer view.

Inside the Chapel of St. Francis of Assisi

Lots of pillars and stained glass windows.

Another view.

This is all of us just outside the Chapel

Another picture with Ma in it this time.

As we were walking through a grassy area, we
noticed that vendors were setting up their tents
for the sidewalk sales they have each weekend.
We stopped to rest for a minute in the shade when
a funny man came up to us.  He was a magician.
He showed each one some funny magic tricks.

It was fun and amazing to see his tricks with four
sponge balls.  Different tricks each time.
After a quick stop for icecream and drinks,
we decided to catch the train back home again.

Santa Fe trains that were at the train stop.
