Parking at the Edge of the Universe
Santa Fe has about 68,000 inhabitants, but during the summer this doubles, with all the tourists coming in. Parking is impossible. With this in mind I waited for the coldest day (11 degrees with the wind chill factor) to venture into town to the historic area. Surely on such a cold day everyone will stay home. Wrong! I finally found a spot 10 blocks from my destination, but it was a beautiful spot, next to our Santa Fe river. For now the river is 2-4 inches wide and perhaps an inch deep, but in spring it becomes a real river from the melted mountain snows. Even now the area around the river is beautiful with parks and picnic tables - a lovely place to walk, even in the cold.
