santa fe

Thursday I bottled up the Preo Farmhouse Ale (ginger saison) so it would hopefully be ready in time for our wedding.

Friday Steph got out of work early and we packed up and headed to Tina's hut in denver. She was running late since it was her last day of work and they were throwing her a party. from there we picked up Liz and finally hit the road to Santa Fe for Gina & Oz's wedding the next day. Most of the trip was in the dark, and we eventually rolled into town around 2am.



The next morning we had some dunkin donuts and did some shopping in town. The highlight of which was Kowboyz which specialized in used western wear.





There was some kind of artist festival going on, and we were lucky to squeeze up to a courtyard bar for a quick drink before we started getting ready for the festivities.



We had just called a cab when Kenny pulled up and gave us all a ride which was sure swell. The ceremony was at this cool house/compound type place and the ceremony was in the front yard area.



After a cocktail hour, we had a delicious southwestern themed dinner.



The night continued with dancing and much merriment.





We cabbed it back to the hotey after a quick stop at a mcdonalds for some late night snacks. The next morning we had to swing back by the compound so Tina could get her shoes that she had lent Gina since it was her only pair. We hung out there for a while, trying to put a dent in the remaining kegs and finding old vintage cars and nifty yart.





From there we went to some awesome place for breakfast, but the name of the place escapes me. And then, on John's recommendation decided to take the 'scenic route' through Taos since it was only 'an extra 7 minutes'. More like 4 hours, but we made a day of it. Of course right when we were about to get back on the highway, it was shut down at the border for a couple hours due to a tour bus on fire. Ahhhhh, rooAad trips!
