After checking in at the Microtel Inn in Gallup, we traveled to the Zuni Pueblo, where most of the Zuni live. There we visited the A:shiwi A:wan Museum and Heritage Center. A very interesting story of the Zuni told in their own words, as well as artifacts from their past which were returned to them after being taken to a museum in NY in the early part of the twentieth century without the knowledge of the tribal leaders. Very interesting.

After this, we stopped for a good lunch near Gallup at the Roadrunner Cafe on old Highway 66.

This morning in the courtyard of our bed and breakfast in Santa Fe.
In this city, St. Francis was everywhere! I loved the other sculptures and decorative art also. There were many benches and sitting areas around - a very well-planned city.
Our Pueblo Bonita B&B served breakfast at 8am. It was very good. We left Santa Fe and traveled on I25 and I40 through Albequerque toward Gallup.

We checked in at our bed and breakfast, the Bonita Pueblo. We had a good dinner at Tamasitas, then a very restful night at our bed and breakfast.

There were many street vendors, and Linda bought herself an azurite ring. Gwen and Linda toured the Georgia O'Keefe Museum, which had an exhibit also of Ansel Adams work. The two artists painted and photographed many of the same views and types of nature.
