Still thankful for Thanksgiving

I am aware that many moons have passed without a post. (Let's blame my dissertation.) But I still want to remember my 2019 Thanksgiving, so here's a quick recap several months late, mostly in pictures.

I went to Santa Fe! We hiked Tent Rocks and did touristy stuff downtown. 


Lookin' at rocks.



Loretto Chapel


Hot chocolate!
 (Not pictured: visiting the cathedral and several art galleries, mariachi music with our dinner at Tomasita's, visiting a couple of museums on Museum Hill, and walking to the cross of the martyrs at sunset.)

We also visited my brother and sister-in-law in northern New Mexico on the ranch where they live and work. It was very pretty, but I was disappointed we didn't see any bison.

Green chile burritos and guacamole!
 
Old charcoal kilns.


It was very cold.

Mom made lots of great food for Thanksgiving and we had family over to visit. We did not, however, run the turkey trot 5k because it snowed!


 And we saw the "lighting of the Plaza" to help kick-start the Christmas season.
