Exploring Santa Fe

On Sunday we walked to the Plaza in Santa Fe so Aimee could attend mass at St. Francis - one of the most beautiful churches we've ever seen. After mass we headed back to the casita to change clothes and grab our bikes. We decided to explore the Dale Ball Trail System which was a short ride from where we stayed. We forgot the camera which is a shame because the views were great, but we found Dale Ball South to be quite a tough ride. Not a good warm-up. Aimee spent a fair amount of time cussing and practicing her hike a bike skillz.

Here are some non-bike photos from Sunday...

And finally, we capped off the day with a Tex Mex pizza at the Upper Crust. Arguably one of the best pizzas we've ever had.

Texas, ya'll...

We're back on the road again. This time we're wandering to Colorado, but we're also checking out exotic places like Amarillo, Texas and beyond. The Bear suggested that we ride and camp at Palo Duro Canyon on our way to Santa Fe. I'm so glad we took a detour. Can you believe this is Texas?
