Santa Fe Week

There are other posts to do for the past week, but just wanted to update to current time.

Our time, again, in Santa Fe has been great.  Santa Fe is the oldest state capital in the USA, and there is just so much history . . .   One just has to sit in the cantina of La Fonda and realize that Oppenheimer walked these halls, Groves stood there, and that an Inn has occupied this spot for 400 years!  A $9 glass of chardonnay is only an excuse to gawk!

But last Thursday, something started going wrong.  It first appeared that Maureen might have a case of bronchitis.  A quick visit to the doctor on Friday with meds to the local CVS, all is OK, right?  No!  By Monday, it was apparent that this was not just bronchitis but probably a touch of the flu!  Another visit to the doctor confirmed our thoughts.  Viral!  A touch of the flu!

So now, we are trying to get Maureen well, but this is a chore.  It is painful to watch how much stress is involved in clearing the deep congestion.  There is just no fastrack method to this, especially since the first clinic doctor missed the diagnosis, so Theraflu is not an option.

So, again, ski season is over.  We are now hoping to get Maureen well by the end of the week so we can move on to the Bloomfield/Farmington area.  There we will set up camp to be a base to visit Chaco Canyon, Salmon Ruin, Aztec National Monuments.  We will probably stay a week there and move on to Cortez to explore southwest Colorado and southeast Utah.

  1. Oh no. I hope she feels better very soon. The flu was a doozy this year, from all accounts.

  2. (Don parental garb) And why didn't that young lady get her flu shot?? More snow in North Texas this morning so ski season moved here. Take care and give Bo a scratch behind the ears for me!
