  Santa Fe weather has been great.  It has been in the 80s during the day and 60s at night.  This is the rainy season and last night it rained again.  The storm clouds were impressive and the days are bright blue sky and white clouds.



  Speaking of skies, I forgot in my first blog, to tell about our Astronomy Adventure.  We went out to the desert to a "dark site".  There were 12 of us and Peter the guide.  He had a 20 inch telescope that actually came from Arcadia, Kansas, of all places. We looked at Mars, Saturn, and several nebulas.  It was incredible!  My favorite was Saturn.  You really could see the rings shimmering.  Some of its moons were visible as well.  We were out there for about 3 hrs.  Great adventure!

  We decided to spend 2 more days in Santa Fe.  We will leave for Salida, Colorado on Thursday.
