The Last Supper, Santa Fe

We spent the day at Canyon Road. Saw these wonderful ceramics by Ruth Duckworth. I had snapped a few when the gallery manager asked us not to photograph – they are all on their website.   http://www.bellasartesgallery.com/duckworth.html

Our last supper was absolutely delicious at Joseph’s of Santa Fe.  Highly recommended!

Joseph’s of Santa Fe, Honey and Cardamom dusted Phyllo Napoleon, Brussel Sprouts, crispy Italian Ham, Root Vegetable saute, Carrot and Ginger Foam

Joseph’s of Santa Fe, Pumpkin, Kale, Corn, Porcini Enchilada with spicy green rice

We sat outside under an awning and it began to rain, we stayed there until an enormous flash of lightening and a clap of thunder a couple of blocks away forced us inside.  This was the sky after the storm as we left the restaurant.

Santa Fe Continued

After spending 5 days in the studio it was time to explore Santa Fe.  We started at the Spanish Market – mostly religious themed crafts.  I have been to Indian Market which includes all the crafts, each pueblo has their own style and no two are alike.  The younger generation are making within the tradition and at the same time developing their own voice.   I find that very exciting.  We visited Shiprock Gallery on the Plaza and saw top of the line jewelry, weaving, and pots.  We lunched at Cafe Pascal and I had a magnificent plate of Huevos Rancheros.
