We're in a food coma!
Four days of fun, and great food, have caught up with us. Our dear friends Cindy and Rick flew in from the Bay Area on Monday. It was so wonderful to be with them. Together we explored Santa Fe's shops, galleries and museums. If that wasn't enough, we topped off each night with an outstanding dinner.
Monday night, we kicked off their visit with our customary Manhattan happy hour. These celebrations have been virtual of late, so it was a real treat to toast in person. Then Chez Paul fired up the grill and prepared some fine ahi steaks and all the trimmings. With great food, conversation and laughter, we set the stage for a five-star food coma.
Each of the following nights, we enjoyed dinner at one of Santa Fe's finest restaurants. The first stop on our culinary tour of this true "foodie" town was Anasazi, just off the plaza in Old Town. Wednesday night we wrapped up our visit to Santa Fe's gallery row with an exquisite dinner at The Compound on Canyon Road. Last night, we scored a fine dining trifecta just up Canyon Road with a "send off" dinner at Geronimo. Every feast was a fantastic experience. Atmosphere, service and cuisine blended perfectly with delightful conversation and joyful laughter to create a memorable celebration of friendship.
Today, Cindy and Rick return home. As much as we truly miss these dear friends, our digestive systems are happy to see this food fest come to an end. We'll get back on the healthy eating wagon and incorporate plenty of exercise into our activities. Slowly, but surely, life will return to normal.
We'll be fighting the effects of this food coma for a bit. But, the memories of four fun and food-filled days with friends will be long-lasting.

Remember to hide the bathroom scale for a few days. :)
Good food is one of life's wonders. A few days won't hurt. But you have to balance it with some leaner times now.
Ah, I remember you talking about that virtual happy hour.. How fun to have the real thing with good friends!

Oh, I know what you mean about Food coma. It seems every time we run into RVers, that's where we meet .... over food for night after night.
