I just love the architecture of Santa Fe. No builing is allowed to be taller than the churches and they all have to be one of 4 colors of brown. I also like the preservation of natural and native american history that is crucial to this city. The views are spectacular! We were here last year and had lunch at the historic Plaza Cafe. Shortly after, it was destroyed by a kitchen fire. Now they are making it into a movie set. "Doc" is a local that is still flashing back to the sixties, but insists that he has been in many movies. We have always seen the signs for the largest ball of twine as we drove across Kansas. Last year, I was bound and determined to stop to see it on a roadtrip to Denver. The signs were gone! Well, I thought I had found the ball of twine.
Now for the pictures!

| The ball of twine ended up being a ball of plastic bags. What a disappointment!! |
