The flight from Phoenix to Albuquerque went perfectly and the drive up to Santa Fe was a breeze, even given the strong winds. Patti & David joined Peggy & Ed at the La Fonda. Because Ed had been tracking things, we landed great suites in The Terraza concierge level of the hotel. The rooms are all huge with balconies that adjoin a large deck area overlooking the cathedral.
Because the weather has been so great, the famous Bell Tower 5th floor outside bar was open. The Silver Coin margaritas they make are fantastic. Patti loaded up on them as she was still recovering from the practical joke played on her by David's coworkers. They had sent an email to David demanding his attendance at a global compliance meeting scheduled for the same weekend as their upcoming wedding. It was a bit breezy but Pleep secured a nice table in the sun and plenty of blankets were available from the hotel.
Leaving the La Fonda, the crew headed over to one of everyone's favorite places, The Marble Brewery. Patti continued to assuage her feelings by ordering up a load of pilsners and pizzas. Marble Brewery's deck overlooks the famous Santa Fe Plaza area so it makes for great people watching, Sunday night offered the normal array of interesting characters, dogs and activities. The low riders cruising around in formation coupled with a lot of motorcycles caused rounds of applause from the deck crowd.
The evening came to a close back at the Gathering Room near our suites. The evening view of St. Francis combined with the bells marking the hour made for a relaxing finish. The plan for Monday is hit the galleries, dine at La Plazuela and watch KU play UK. With luck, Kansas will put on a great performance sending Calipari and crew back to KY.
