Pauline's blog about vacation rentals in Europe, travel in Europe and other thoughts
Going through some photos on my camera I found the ones from the snow storm just before Christmas. The snow is old and dirty now, but didn’t it look beautiful when it arrived! Here is Buddy walking the paths that Steve shoveled.
Buddy in the Snow, December 23 2008
It is so cold today that I spent part of the afternoon looking at vacation rentals in Hawaii.
The view from my office window on a cold almost-winter day in Santa Fe. We have the world’s smallest office (two of us in our second bedroom) and one small window that neither of us looks at from our desk, but when we looked out tonight, this is what we saw. The setting sun glowing on the Sangre de Cristo (Blood of Christ) mountains and the remaining snow in the yard.
The view from my office window
Summer didn’t just end, it dropped off a cliff - or so it seems. Last week was perfect fall weather - temps in the low 70s, sunny days, the Aspens up in the mountains are gold. We had snow on the mountains the week before.
We drove up the Santa Fe Ski Hill on Thursday and took the chairlift up for the view. We have ridden dozens of chairlifts and gondolas in Switzerland, but had never ridden the one here. Well, it is lame. It took about 45 minutes because they stop it for each group getting on. We jerked our way up the hill. The views were nice, but are best on the way back down. At least it is an open chairlift and not a closed in gondola. We walked back down and made it back almost the same time as people who got on the chairlift to go back down. There was snow for the first few hundred feet.

The September issue of the Southwest edition of Sunset Magazine (New Mexico and Arizona) has a short interview with me about traveling in Santa Fe and the Southwest.

When I did the interview they told me they would mention the new site, Slow Europe, but it got cut out. In the photo (which I like!) I am sitting on our portal by the front door (on the bench where the cat usually sleeps). Here is my earlier blog post about the article - Slow Europe in Sunset Magazine.
