Hazey Day

Today has been spent in a bit of a haze. Last night, Brian and I went out on the town with a pair of scientists who had been evacuated from Los Alamos because of the fires. It was one of their birthdays, and being the good Samaritans that we are, we decided to go out and help them celebrate. So, today has been foggy. After rolling out of bed and doing our daily chores (one of the requirements here at Pension Santa Fe) we decided that it would be a good idea to get on our bikes and check out a couple of museums in downtown Santa Fe. First on the list was the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, and then the New Mexico Museum of Art. At the "Hide" exhibit one artist, Michael Belmore, stood out in particular. His hammer and chisel carvings in pounded bronze were pretty awesome. At the Museum of Art, we saw Tamas Dezso's photography, which was incredible. During our visit to the second museum, a thunderstorm exploded over the city stranding us under the awning to the museum. When the rain finally stopped, we got back onto our bikes and pedaled madly back to the hostel. And, now I have a rooster tail of mud running up the back of one of my shirts... I've only got three shirts with me on this trip. Maybe it's time to do some laundry.
