Half the group

Entering Museum Hill (more about that on another day), we paused to take a half-group picture. Museum Hill has a life size bronze statue of mules drawing a Conestoga Wagon across the Santa Fe Trail. Ed, who holds the prize for valuable trivia, noted that Conestoga Wagons did not come over the Santa Fe trail, a fact confirmed by research and a cause of some embarrassment to local historians.
The museum houses three of the five outstanding New Mexico museums of Santa Fe. We will have time to visit them on our own and will share our experiences later.
