Staircase at Chapel of Loretto Today was our last tourist day of this trip. We visited the New Mexico History in the Palace of Governors. The museum would have been a disappointment if it we hadn’t joined the museum tour. The guide told a lot of stories around the various museum exhibits making it much more interesting. We also visited the suspended rotary stairs in the Chapel of Loretto – a unique design which has no central support. The church itself is based off of St. Chapel in Paris. Our last stop was St. Miguel Church, the oldest church in America, built by Indians in the 16th century.
So what were the highlights of this trip? Mary and I both agreed: the Panhandle-Plains museum in Canyon, TX, Big Bend National Park, especially the bird watching, and the scenery around the river, McDonald observatory’s star party, Carlsbad Cavern, and White Sands National Monument.
