9/30 - SANTA FE, NM - DAY 1



With over 8,000 miles of road crime on both the Airstream and Tim’s truck it was time for both to get washed. Tim washed both of them while I washed clothes and tidy upped the interior of the Airstream. 



Next thing you know it was late afternoon and we had missed lunch. We then decided to go out to The Pantry Restaurant for a late lunch/early dinner. This establishment has been open since 1948. That’s the same year our Airstream Liner was made! They serve a variety of classic regional dishes that are outstanding. Brisket tacos! Shrimp and chorizo quesadillas! Poblanos! Fish tacos! Queso! When we pulled into town yesterday there was a line out the door waiting to get in. It’s rated as one of the best restaurants in town. 



Nothing fancy inside. Just a simple family owned restaurant with really good food. They serve a few beers at at The Pantry one being a local brew from The Santa Fe Brewing Company. Afterwards we thought we would drive over to the brewery to check it out. 





Santa Fe Brewing is a very large operation.  Tim and I went to their headquarters location where they brew since it was close to another place we needed to go to tomorrow. Looks like they are doing some major additions at this location. And to get a beer you have to walk next door across the parking through a wood fence to The Bridge. 





This other establishment is called The Bridge at Santa Fe Brewing. The entire place seemed a bit off. Maybe it was that the place was so big and not that many people were there? You can rent it out for parties of 1,000 people and there were at most 15 people there. Maybe it was the fence? Maybe it was the chain hoists hanging from the front of the stage? Maybe it was because it was Monday? Maybe it was the four bikers hanging out? Maybe it was the dad hanging out inside at the bar while his young sons played outside? Not everything added up. 

Tomorrow we get to do something Airstream related!
