Ranch of the Swallows … aka El Rancho de las Golondrinas

Friday, 10 July 2015 (Part I)
Santa Fe Skies RV Park — Santa Fe, New Mexico
Temps: Hi 76F (24C) / Lo 53F (12C)

¡Bienvenidos a El Rancho de las Golondrinas … Welcome to the Ranch of the Swallows.

Those were the first words in the brochure we picked up for $1 when we went into the gift shop to pay the $6pp admission fee for the open air museum that is located 20 minutes south of Santa Fe … and maybe about 10 minutes from the RV park where we are staying.  We went thinking we’d just spend half a day there.  As it turns out, we arrived just as the museum was opening at 10:00a and left just before they locked the doors at 4:00p ;-)  Luckily, the sun did not become unbearable until late in the day as much of our time was spent outdoors ... except when we were inside the buildings that dot the grounds.
