Yesterday morning it was raining in Santa Fe, snow on the mountain tops. Decided not to go into downtown and took a trip to Los Alamos to visit the Bradbury Science Museum and the other points of interest there. Los Alamos was the town that wasn't during WWII, it was kept secret as they developed the atomic bomb. The museum was fascinating with lots of hardware and history of the development of the site. Most interesting was the bio's of the people who worked there and details of the spies worked there. There was a model of the Fat Man bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The streets in town were named after atomic test sites and key scientists, like Trinity, Oppenheimer, etc.
This morning the weather was bright and beautiful and a little cool. Went to downtown Santa Fe early and wandered around, Nita spent much of the morning in the shops doing you know what. We are back in our motor home now and will depart soon to the NW, may make it to Shiprock today.
Pictures are Fat Man bomb, countryside near Los Alamos, San Miguel Mission Church-one of the oldest church in continual use, constructed in 1610 and some of the buildings in Santa Fe.
