I can't recall what I did on any of the eight previous February 29ths of my lifetime. With my calendar still wide open, this year, I took advantage and slipped out of town for a day I'm sure to recall in some detail four years from now. I came down to Santa Fe, Ne Mexico, which is about a six hour drive from Denver. That the city's name rhymes with the unofficial holiday is purely coincidental.
I drove down yesterday stopping at a steelworks museum I Pueblo. I arrived too late to tour Fort Union MM in northern MM. Shortened operating hours are a big disadvantage to traveling in the offseason. I arrived at my motel right before sunset. After checking in, I walked a short distance to historic plaza and began exploring the 400 year old town. When I was sufficiently tired and hungry, I found a good restaurant.
Today, I focused on the historic district. There's plenty to see & by lodging so close to the center of town, I didn't need to drive at all today. I went to a few museums (1 history, 2 art), took a self-guided tour of the capitol, went to some historic churches including mass at the cathedral, and finished with a dinner complete with side of green chili.
PS. Happy 3rd B-day AAAA.
