Hey hey USA - 3rd November - central Santa Fé

  In the afternoon we walked into central Santa Fé and went to the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. The museum houses a sizeable collection of her work and it was a good climax to visiting her house in Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch. I will just post two pictures from this. A photo of Georgia O'Keeffe and an image from the cloak room! Next we visit the Cathedral Basilica of St Francis of Assisi, built 1714 - 1717 and renovated in 1967. It is a massive Romanesque Revival building built on the site of a previous church destroyed in the Pueblo Rebellion in 1680. I didn't think it was very pretty. We didn't spend any time inside the cathedral as there was a rehearsal in progress. Afterwards we wandered around the city, visited the New Mexico History Museum which was very interesting and later ate in a very popular pasta restaurant near our hotel.
