GMC Jimmy Problems
The Anti-lock brake system (ABS) control unit may fail internally causing the ABS warning light to illuminate.
The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart. Our technicians recommend replacing the fuel filter every 30,000 miles to help prevent undue strain on the fuel pump.
The heater core under the right side of the dashboard may leak engine coolant which can puddle on the passenger front floor. The loss of coolant may cause an engine overheating condition. Our technicians tell us that removal of the dash board is necessary to replace the heater on these vehicles.

Bought a 98 Jimmy in 2007 and have not stopped repairing it since! Total lemon and the worst used car/truck I have ever owned in my 25 plus years of driving.

I have 2000 GMC SLE Jimmy which I bought new. It's been nothing but a nightmare since I've owned it. I've changed the water pump 3 times. A defective radiator seal caused fluid to leak in the oil compartment which cost over $1000 to repair. The A/C condenser coil water leaks on the passenger carpet and the GMC dealership NEVER correctly addressed this problem, while it was still under warranty....
I bought a 1997 Jimmy SLE about 4 1/2 years ago, The transmission was out when I got it, It will shift 1 2 3 but will not go into OD and leaks fluid from the front around the seal or pump, I parked it and it has sit there for over 4 years, I thought I would rebuild the transmission now and got a new battery and installed it and now it will not start, I think the fuel pump has went out from sitt...

Segun Seriki, a Former Member of the House of Representatives
Segun Seriki, a former member of the House of Representatives and one of the leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State has blamed former President Olusegun Obasanjo for the protracted crisis rocking the party in the state. He also lamented the continuous flagrant disregard to court orders by the former president's faction of the party, among other issues. He spoke to Omololu Ogunmade. Excerpts:
What really is the problem with Ogun PDP?
I am a founding member of the PDP in Ogun State and currently a leader of the party in the state. I was in the House of Representatives in the aborted Third Republic on the platform of Social Democratic Party (SDP). I was in the same House when (Bola) Tinubu and (Jubril Martins) Kuye were senators, while Governor Rabiu Kwankwanso was also a member of the federal House. So, I am not just a member of the state executive committee in Ogun State, I am privy to everything that happens in the party.
The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State is Dayo Adebayo and all this insinuation of "authentic leader" is the imagination of disgruntled members seeking relevance by creating another state executive that is unknown to the law. In all honesty, it is good to give a background to the problem. It is quite unfortunate that PDP finds itself in this situation as a result of the interplay of interests where people who are not popular choices are aspiring to be representatives of the people.
After Governor (Gbenga) Daniel came into the party and ran a very expansive people-oriented campaign that led to his victory in 2003, there came an argument on who would be custodians of the structure of the party between him and those who hitherto had been in the party as led by Chief Jubril Martins Kuye. But the truth of the matter is that activities of the governor had changed the political equation in the state vis-à-vis its relevance and popularity. In between this disagreement, a third force came into play, that was Prince Buruji Kashamu.
Naturally in politics, the essence of aspiration to high office and control is fundamental, that is to say anybody worthy of his salt should aspire to be in control. It is not a shameful thing for any politician to wake up and say 'I want to be the president of the Federal Republic or I want to be in control.' So, a third force came into play but the truth of the matter is that in the dynamics, Governor Daniel held forth with a lot of control on the executive members at the time while Prince Kashamu walked his way into a substantial control of the executive of the party. In all this, other political office holders, including Kuye were more or less partying and playing on old reputation and glory, including former President (Olusegun) Obasanjo.
At what point did the national secretariat of the party intervene in the crisis?
These political office holders that I mentioned held on to their positions and perceived glory without any semblance of connect with the people. It was this disagreement that led to the national executive's intervention. They requested for harmonisation of the parallel executive committees. At the point of harmonisation, the best that could be said was that the struggle was between Governor Daniel and the opposition or between Governor Daniel and JMK. But truly and honestly, the JMK group was just a symbol of the opposition and it had been a name that we had been using since he contested the governorship election but in the real term, it was Prince Buruji Kashamu that had people who symbolised the JMK group, unless they were just asking these people to go and write names. But at the point of harmonisation, they both harmonised.
Yours truly was a key loyalist and aide of Governor Daniel at that time. When the harmonisation came, it was our perceived belief in the OGD group that as a ruling party and we being in government, we could not agree. There was disagreement. I think the disagreement prompted Prince Buruji Kashamu to approach the court. That court case led to the Justice Kafarati judgment in which the OGD group lost in court by that judgement. A judicial unification had been created in the party. If we were to be a civilised society, you were at liberty to disagree with the judgment by which a lot of followers of Governor Daniel went to form (Peoples Party of Nigeria) PPN but it is unthinkable in the modern world for you to demonstrate sharp disagreement with a competent court judgment by flouting the judgment.
It was this judgment that enabled PDP to run for election in 2011 because there was no judicial unification of the party. That was why I said there was judicial unification of the party at the point of Kafarati judgment because we presented a candidate for the election and it was not factionalised. I need to clarify a position so that we understand the sincerity of yours truly because my dabbling into politics is predicated on the observance of the rule of law. I was a member and key loyalist and up till now, I am still a very good aide of former Governor Daniel. I was in the Daniel group and was aspiring to the federal House in 2011 but at the point where I obtained and paid for my form in the party, I realised that there was a subsisting court order that prevented the OGD group from conducting primaries. I drew the attention of the former governor to it. We disagreed on principle.
Based on that singular court order, I chose to go to the other group and do my primary there. And I won as a law-abiding citizen in the opposition group because that was what the law said. As the court vindicated the primary, my position was also vindicated because Governor Daniel had his own primary, which the court had stopped. As an aspiring lawmaker and a former lawmaker, I could not allow myself to condescend to do a primary in a place where the court had said it should not be done because I could remember that when we were in the university, there was a saying that an order remained an order until it was set aside.
In the face of subsisting court order in Ogun PDP, what is the fate of the party?
I so believe that if you don't obey rule of law, the future of the country is doomed. So, after we won the judgment in Abuja which vindicated my position, I am still shocked when people talk about factions in Ogun PDP. In the real PDP, the court had said 'this is the PDP.' So, we ran for the election. But things become worse when you realise that eminent Nigerians, former exalted office holders, can condone illegality because it rubs off on the image of the country. I was a contestant and by virtue of that, I had been incorporated into the caucus of PDP controlled by Prince Buruji Kashamu now. I was privy to the fact that our respected leader, former President Obasanjo singlehandedly and unilaterally nominated Brigadier General Tunji Olurin for that governorship election under the Dayo Soremi-led executive committee.
I had my reservation on that as a result of my perceived knowledge of political interaction with the former president. But he had his way and we fielded General Olurin. The question that an ordinary Nigerian should ask is: should we now disagree with the Dayo Soremi executive after you had used the most valuable price electorally available to that committee. We are Nigerians and fundamentally, a situation where we fold our arms and allow people who ordinarily had been in better positions when they were younger than us to continue to manipulate our future is arrant stupidity on our part.
By my current age, I would have been older than former President Obasanjo when he was military head of state. I am not a soldier but somebody was a soldier and outside the schedule of his job, became head of state. Yet this person was younger at that time than me now but he had the opportunity. And now, we want to administer democracy, you cannot sympathise with us for not having the honour of the right you had and you are still frustrating the political process.
How did the crisis degenerate after the general election?
After the election, one would have expected that in a reasonable clime, given our loss, given the circumstances which had vindicated my earlier stated position that there were only two gladiators politically in Ogun State, who had meaningful electoral value, that is former Governor Daniel and Buruji Kashamu, the reasonable attempt should have been how to bring the PPN back to PDP, but that did not happen because some former office holders, some opportunistic office aspirers and jobbers are running under former President Obasanjo because the system allows the unilateral presentation of appointment to the president without laid down rules. Unfortunately, Daniel is in PDP while majority of his followers are in PPN. But Buruji has been wholly and totally in PDP.
What mainly is Obasanjo's role in all of this?
After we lost the election, they wrote Dayo Soremi to send 10 names of people to be considered for political appointments. I was among the leaders that went to former President Obasanjo's house to ask him to guide us. He asked us to go and bring three names from each senatorial district, which amounted to nine. And we fully gave him one of the nominees but what did we have? He collected the names and changed the whole list, which was not what we ought to do if not for honour. We were supposed to have sent the list by ourselves but we deferred to him because we had the burden of housing the former president in the state.
But against agreement, he changed the names. We have two ministers from the state now who are not from the political terrain but they were nominated by him. That is not the kind of politics that can liberate Nigeria. Anyway, that is not bad enough. I concede the fact that he has the right to do so because of his contributions to the political growth of the country to get what he aspires for. That is what he chooses to do with his eminence but he does not have the right to subvert the rule of law. I agree that he is a former president. Whatever has to do with that office, he has the right to do it as he likes. But when there is a compelling court judgment that says 'Mr. Big man, submit yourself to rule of law,' you are supposed to honourably comply. That is the unfortunate part that is painful to young people like us.
Obasanjo is the nemesis of PDP in Ogun State. For somebody who is not a captain of democracy and yet unilaterally nominated a governorship candidate to now turn around to be fighting the same executive that accepted the governorship candidate from him, it's unfortunate! We cannot be in a society ruled by arbitrariness. We will fight to the end, logically, and within the ambit of the law. It is criminal to be asking, 'how do we wriggle out of this problem?' It is wrong for distinguished personalities to sit down and allow disobedience to the rule of law.
If the law allows me to be the President of Nigeria, what do the people expect from me? Ogun State is a test ground for Nigeria to know that democracy is not only about the conduct of free and fair election, but rather about a process that has been bastardised. When you allow somebody to bastardise your electoral value and present unqualified candidates before you, is that in the spirit of free and fair election?

There will still be medicare and medicaid. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, the amount of money you can make and qualify for medicaid is going to be nearly tripled. That has always bothered me, because doctors only take so many medicaid patients and then no more. What happens when the number of medicaid recipients doubles or triples and doctors won't take them?

This whole thing is so complicated and confusing. It's probably that way on purpose too. I have a feeling we are all going to be screwed by this.
A side note- my friend is manager of a convenience store, part of a local chain of about 50 stores. He told me this week that he has to inform 2 of his full time workers that they are being demoted to part time. Right now the company is 70/ 30 full time/ part time workers and because of this health care law they want to be less than 50% full time. How this is beneficial for America I do not know.

Here is a source from Forbes that details the costs of either choosing the plan or paying the tax, for those who are interested.
Forbes - The Cost of Obamacare
Remember that the government will determine what health insurance policies meet its approval to satisfy the individual mandate. If citizens decide they prefer a different health plan, they would have to pay for that insurance as well as pay the new tax.

I figure for my family we pay $8400 a year and the government (through lower taxes) will end up covering about 75% of that. That is instead of currently getting a tax deduction, which amounts to only about 15%.

The government? Sounds more like I'll be covering it! The government is my taxes, I don't want you to get insurance using my money when I don't even pay insurance for myself. I've got my own reasons not to do it and I never needed to.

Best Time to Vacation in Santa Fe?
When is the best time to vacation in Santa Fe? Well one can argue this question as Santa Fe offers so much diversity in so many realms (landscapes, culture, art, theatre, cuisine, history, outside and inside activities, etc). However, my favorite time is between September and November. During these months, temps can be 80s, 70s, 60s and even the 50s as Thanksgiving nears. Hotel rates drop mid-October and mid to low seasonal rates begin in November, December, January and February. Skiing (downhill, cross country and snowboarding) starts the end of November, which is a real treat! One can argue that springtime in Santa Fe, New Mexico has similar climate temps and hotel rates are classified in mid-season range. The fall festivals however make September thru November a clear winner. Summer temps rest between the 60s and mid-80s, no wonder this is peak season for New Mexico travelers which take hotel rates to high-season range and make availability tighter. Who can resist those amazing summer festivals though- some of the best in the world come to show art at Folk Art Market, Indian Market, Spanish Market and others. Winter can be chilly with daily highs reaching the upper 40s and evening lows creeping into the 10s.

Autumn Bird Watching for Santa Fe, New Mexico Travelers.
Courtesy of Pueblo Bonito bed and breakfast inn– Santa Fe, NM
November Bird Watching can prove to be quiet exuberating when Santa Fe visitors take note of crystal blue New Mexico skies! Not only are our skies a glorious crisp blue in color, but some of Gods most amazing creatures have recently been spotted on the grounds of Santa Fe's Pueblo Bonito bed and breakfast inn! Closeby areas – such as the Galisteo Basin- are also known for bird watching and recent spotting have been as follows:
Downing Woodpecker:Though I am not an expert birdwatcher, I have seen an active little Downy Woodpecker on several occasions balancing on the branches of tall Chinese elms at Pueblo Bonito bed and breakfast inn- Santa Fe, NM. He frequently makes his presence known by the rap-tap-tap of his pecking on a nearby light pole! His beautiful black-and-white colors are prominently displayed and easily identifiable even for my beginning bird watching knowledge!
American Kestrel: North America's littlest falcon! Evidently The American Kestrel packs a predator's fierce intensity into its small body. It's one of the most colorful of all raptors from what I've read. The American Kestrel spotted on the grounds of Pueblo Bonito bed and breakfast inn looked very much like the photo below to the right. Beautiful slate-blue head and wings with contrasting rusty-red back and tail. It was definitely on the prowl as it perched for a few minutes on our telephone lines then and swooped quickly across the street for what we assume was a tasty dinner treat!
These little beauties are frequently seen around Santa Fe as their migration begins in the November. They tend to hop the grounds of Pueblo Bonito bed and breakfast inn for both fall and spring visits. It is my understanding they winter in forests and feed in both deciduous and coniferous trees, often at higher elevations (Santa Fe is 7000 ft with nearby Sangre de Cristos mountains to 13,000+ ft).
In fall through spring, harriers can be found in wide-open grasslands, or fields in outlaying areas of Santa Fe county. Recently I sighted a Northern Harrier during flight just off 285 south of Santa Fe. Note the low, slow, coursing flight style, the bird's V-shaped wing posture, and its white rump- all indications of correct classification of Northern Harrier. During migration in the fall and spring, you can see these magnificent birds high in the sky over nearby mountain ridges and hills.
November Travel to Santa Fe, New Mexico is a delightful experience for birdwatchers, history buffs, black Friday shoppers, Thanksgiving travelers, and so much more! The staff at Pueblo Bonito bed and breakfast inn have been serving Santa Fe visitors for over 28 years! We strive to make your New Mexico bird watching visit memorable.

Historic New Mexico Mission Tours -Santa Fe via Pueblo Bonito Inn.
San Miguel Mission: also known as San Miguel Chapel, is a Spanish colonial mission church located in downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico – a block from the historic Pueblo Bonito Inn. Claimed to be the oldest church in the United States, San Miguel Mission was built around 1626. Damage sustained during the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 was rebuilt in 1710 following the Spanish reconquest for which the chapel served Spanish soldiers. Hand carved pieces located inside the chapel include a wooden statue of Saint Michael dating back to at least 1709. Though the church has been repaired and rebuilt numerous times over the years, its original adobe walls are still largely intact despite having been hidden by later additions. The mission is a U.S. National Historic Landmark.
Loretto Chapel– originally a Roman Catholic church, now privately owned and used as a museum with wedding chapel. A long time subject of legend, the "Miraculous Staircase" and circumstances surrounding it are considered miraculous by the Sisters of Loretto as well as many visitors. In 1872, a convent chapel was commissioned to be built and named Our Lady of Light Chapel for the Sisters of Loretto. Designed by French architect Antoine Mouly in Gothic Revival style, ornately decorated with spires, buttresses, and stained glass windows imported from France, the Loretto Chapel built on a smaller scale, bears close resemblance to Paris's Sainte-Chapelle. After the architect's sudden death, and much of the construction finished, it was realized no type of stairway to the choir loft was provided. Needing a way to get up to the choir loft the nuns prayed for St. Joseph's intercession for nine straight days after which a stranger appeared at their door. Offering to build the nuns a staircase, but requiring total privacy he locked himself in the chapel for three months. Using a only primitive tools including a square, saw and warm water he constructed a spiral staircase entirely of non-native wood. The carpenter's identity was never known for as soon as the staircase was finished he was gone. Witnesses, upon seeing the staircase, felt it was constructed as a miraculous occurrence by St Joseph himself. The mystery has never been solved as to who the carpenter was or where he got his lumber, for no reports were made of anyone seeing lumber delivered nor of the man come and go while construction was done. Less than a five minute walk from Pueblo Bonito b&b inn– the Loretto Chapel is a must see when Mission touring Santa Fe.
Cristo Rey church (Spanish for Christ King), is a beautiful adobe example of historic New Mexico Mission architecture with notable Spanish colonial retablos and santos adorning its sanctuary. Used for worship, weddings and community events, this active Roman Catholic church quietly sits at the east end of Canyon Rd on the corner of Cristo Rey street. An easy five minute drive from Pueblo Bonito b&b as you peruse the famous art and sculpture work on Canyon Road.
Galisteo Mission the Pueblo of the Tanos (Galisteo Pueblo) was founded around 1250 AD. A thriving community of 1,000+ surface dwellings was situated on the west side of Galisteo Creek. This pueblo presented an impressive appearance to outside visitors for the time period. Once named "San Lucas" by Spanish settlers in 1590, Juan de Oñate renamed the pueblo "Santa Ana" in 1600. In early seventeenth century again renaming occurred and the village became known as "Santa Cruz de Galisteo". Franciscan brothers founded this first permanent mission among the Tanoan speaking people in 1612. It was the earliest mission in the Galisteo Basin as well as one of the earliest missions in New Mexico. This 17th century church was unique as it was built sufficiently wide – having three aisles with two rows of support columns leading from the sanctuary. Though it is not certain whom is responsible for the notable church design, Fray Pedro de Ortega, is thought to have contributed. Galisteo Mission is located a short, but beautiful 20 minute drive south of Santa Fe's Pueblo Bonito bed and breakfast inn off Hwy 41 in Galisteo New Mexico.
The Santuario de Guadalupe originally built in 1781, located on Guadalupe St- just a five minute walk north-west of Pueblo Bonito b&b inn, it is known as the "Soul of Santa Fe". This historic mission church played a very significant role in religious, cultural, and traditional life of the people of Santa Fe. It is the oldest, still-standing church dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe in the US and Canada. Located at the end of the Camino Real (the main route from Mexico City via Chihuahua to the Southwest) which brought Spanish ancestors and the Franciscan friars who ministered and sowed seeds of Christian faith with a devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe. This historic New Mexico mission is considered to be very holy. El Santuario de Guadalupe church is currently an art and history museum and contains the Archdiocese of Santa Fe's collection of New Mexican santos (carved images of the saints), Italian Renaissance paintings, and Mexican baroque paintings. Among the treasured works is Our Lady of Guadalupe, one of the largest and finest oil paints of the Spanish Southwest, dated 1783 and signed by Jose de Alzibar, one of Mexico's most renowned painters.Sanctuario de Chimayo – Located north of Santa Fe, New Mexico on Hwy 285/520 – a short 20 minute drive from Inn at Pueblo Bonito in the historic village of Chimayó, New Mexico – one can view this rustic and serene active Roman Catholic Church. This is one of the most famous churches in New Mexico and North America. Known as a shrine and National Historic Landmark, El Sanctuario de Chimayo receives over 300,000 visitors a year and is called the most important and largest Catholic pilgrimage center in the United States. The walled courtyard entrance is one of the most photographed sites in Northern New Mexico and houses a small cemetery. This picturesque church, built of three foot thick adobe walls has a bell tower on each side with pointed caps and a metal pitched roof that were probably added in the 1920s. Thick, yet elegant wood doors were carved by 19th-century carpenter Pedro Domínguez while notable folk-art carvings and decorations can be found inside the sanctuary and narthex. Of special note, a small room called el pocito (the little well), located just left of the front alter, contains a round pit. This "round pit" is the source of "holy dirt" (tierra bendita) that is believed to have healing powers. The adjacent Prayer Room displays photographs, discarded crutches, and unique testimonials of those who have received healing. Recently added is the outside sanctuary needed to receive mass numbers of pilgrims on Good Friday and Easter walks.
Pecos Mission (aka: Mission Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles de Porciúncula or Mission of Our Lady of the Angels of Porciúncula) was a mission that served the people of Pecos Pueblo near Pecos, New Mexico. The first church at Pecos Pueblo is thought to have been built by Franciscan Fray Pedro Zambrano Ortiz around 1619. This isolated church was built along a narrow ridge, 400 m northeast of the pueblo's main quadrangle, as the pueblo people would not allow construction closer to their dwelling sites. A permanent church was constructed outside the walls of the pueblo of Pecos, New Mexico in 1625. This church was destroyed in the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, wherein the Spanish were ejected from New Mexico. After the Spanish reconquest in 1693, a smaller church was built in 1717 for which the walls of this later church still stand on top of the prior church's stone foundation. Ruins are located 25 miles south east of Santa Fe's Pueblo Bonito Inn off I-25 in Pecos National Historic Park.
Inn at Pueblo Bonito- Perfect Lodging for a Santa Fe Birdwatching Vacation.
Spring is a fantastic season to create a memorable New Mexico Bird watching vacation as activity naturally increases and migrating birds return. Birders not knowing where to find spring birds can easily miss out on seeing many spectacular species native to Santa Fe and New Mexico. Knowing where to find and watch birds can lead to unique bird sightings and opportunities leading to refreshing and renewed interests in birding after long winter months.
Pueblo Bonito B&B inn in downtown Santa Fe creates a unique and distinctively memorable opportunity to enjoy up close and personal an inviting outdoor atmosphere for native New Mexico birds to viewed. Early Spring (May) sightings of Tangers (below left) resting on blooming branches of one of our large elm trees at Pueblo Bonito Inn as well as Rufous Towee (below right).
Commonly seen at Pueblo Bonito b&b inn – Santa Fe throughout the summer months are Mountain Blue Jays- large in size with beautiful displays of distinctive powder blue breast; Sparrows- buckskin brown in color and petite in stature, yet large in personality; and hummingbirds which are always a popular sight and sound!
Not as commonly seen at Pueblo Bonito b&b, but a delight when spotted is the roadrunner- New Mexico's official state bird. We do see these little guys running along the sides of highways and byways frequently throughout New Mexico, as well as down streets of Santa Fe while momentarily flying over a fence (contrary to the popular belief- they do fly!).
Where to Find Birds in Santa Fe in Spring: Keys to finding birds in spring is to look for areas with freshly sprouting green and flowers. These are critical clues to attract both resident birds and visiting migrants. While spring birds can appear in any area, birder watchers who visit the right areas will see many more species. To find the most spring birds, check out…Migration Flyways: In both spring and fall, birds travel similar routes between their wintering grounds and breeding grounds. Visiting nature refuges and birding hotspots along migration flyways can be very productive birding during spring migration.

Santa Fe Travelers love the City Different!
Whether you're planning a New Mexico vacation, a Santa Fe visit or permanent relocation, you'll come to realize that Santa Fe is "the City Different". Why is Santa Fe known as "The City Different"?
Unlike many vacation destinations you may have visited, Santa Feans are extremely friendly and our town itself is smaller, more intimate- yet Santa Fe boasts attractions that easily stand up to many a metropolis:
*World Class art galleries and museums
*Family entertainment, events, and festivals
*Gourmet dining; Opera/Symphony performances and other cultural nightlife
*History, Rich Native American culture, Unique architecture
*World-class shopping
*National Parks and natural beauty abound
*Easy access to nearby sites and day trips
*Numerous opportunities for worship and spirituality
*Easy convenient, walkable downtown with historic sites, cultural events, performances etc.
Santa Fe is "the City Different" because, unlike other cities, our history is an integral part of our day-to-day life, augmented by modernity rather than erased by it. Established by indigenous hunters and gatherers, influenced by Hispanic immigrants and explorers, and populated over the centuries by numerous other European descendants, Santa Fe continues to embrace new diversity and to celebrate our cultural heritage. Legacies from these earlier groups endure in harmony: in nearby pueblos and reservations, through diverse festivals and traditions, even in the local foods grown and eaten and in the beauty that nurtures us.
No American city has ever been more beautiful and well preserved. Centuries ago, newcomers were drawn to this area because of the scenic splendor. They stayed because the earth offered bountiful lands providing precious minerals and gems, including gold, silver, and turquoise. Today, unique among many cities, Santa Fe New Mexico boasts spectacular views and experiences of nature. Several mountain ranges – visible wherever you turn—beckon to hikers, skiers, birdwatchers, horseback riders and nature enthusiasts. The Rio Grande replenishes the high desert plains and valleys, sustaining productive fields to supply local farmers and markets, as well as pastures for domesticated cattle and buffalo and the wild herds of antelope will take your breath away when sight them from the highways and byways.
Finally, Santa Fe has earned its nickname because it truly is different, in indescribable ways. There is a spirit here which defies definition, yet you feel it in the purity of the air, in the vivid colors of each season, in the deep blue of the heavens and the vastness of the night sky. There is an ethereal quality that turns mere neighbors into lifelong friends as locals take things a little slower, living by the unspoken code of "manana". One stands a little taller, breathes a little easier, relaxes and smells the roses in the City Different.
We invite you to come and experience this delightful City of Difference and allow us at Pueblo Bonito bed and breakfast inn to provide your accommodations- making your Santa Fe vacation a time to remember. Call us at 1-800-461-4599 or book online at
