A strange alien sign on the side of the highway. Apparently, there is a solar panel somewhere behind it and it glows at night. I guess this is what happens in the Ph.D. capital of the US.
Me and Jacqueline, Me and Ian. By this time, I had decided that I was rooting for Spain after the Dutch guy planted his cleats into a Spainard's chest. Ouch. He deserved a red card for that one.
Truly New Mexico
The El Dorado Hotel and some of downtown Santa Fe
After the game (congrats Espana!), I desperately needed some frozen yogurt. Not quite Yogurtland but a pretty good substitute.
At the end of one street was this beautiful church. I don't know why, but I was drawn to it. At the moment we decided to bypass the church, a tourist tram drove by and I heard the tour guide saying that this was the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi. That was it. I had to go in. I just spent an entire week in Assisi, Italy in May. Basilica of St. Francis - Santa Fe (left), Assisi (right)
Me and some sculptures from a local art store

This weekend happened to be the International Folk Art Market. It only happens once a year. Unfortunately, we only caught the last ten minutes of it. Lots of different folk artists selling their wares.
Ian drinking something strange he bought at Whole Foods. An "Obamonos!" sticker! Love it!
Camel rock. Looks something like a sitting camel - I guess. Compare to my camel in Morocco...
Finally, we ended the day with dinner at Gabriel's. Ian had water (no fun). Jacqueline had a margarita and I had a sangria.
Fish tacos with red snapper (left), seafood fajita with shrimp, scallops, and red snapper (right)
Fajita toppings, cheese enchiladas with guac taco and bean burrito
Us with our food! (hehe, buttons! sorry, inside joke)
Jacqueline with a Spanish flag sticker on her back. For the rest of the day, people kept stopping her and saying, "Do you know you have a sticker on your back?" And she would reply, "Viva Espana!"
And then they would look at me funny like I was out of my mind. Do you not follow the World Cup people??? "You know? Soccer?" "Oh, really? Who's playing?" >_<;;
