1475 down, 1125 to go

So we arrived in Santa Fe around 1ish today.  We had plenty of time to explore this little sleepy town and kinda liked it.  It was much smaller than we had thought (only 70,000 or so people live here) but there was a nice little downtown area full of shops and local street vendors. Tomorrow…
