Well, Sunday morning we set off in Grandpa's van to visit Nambe falls, a waterfall/park just north of Santa Fe, where we were planning to hike around and have a nice picnic. Mind you, there has been a bit of build-up to this event with discussions of the waterfall, etc. We get our picnic lunch in Espanola (yummy fried chicken) and make our way to the park. Making the turn, we see a hand-written sign saying the falls are closed for the season...hmmm...wait...what? In disbelief we keep driving and sure enough the gate is closed and the park is in fact NOT OPEN. No problem for the Leisher, Sargert, Redfield clan :) we hopped out of the van and played at the gate. We slid down the dirt, swung on the gate, and had our picnic. It was a lot of fun. We then went to Chimayo and saw the sacred dirt.
We finished off the day with a stop at the playground in Velarde.
We had a great adventure. Check back for part II when we try for the actual falls in the summer.
