Santa Fe, Food, Churches and R2D2

Upon arriving in Santa Fe we were all hungry and the smell of Fajitas being make fresh on the corner enticed us to find this shady park bench and dig-in. Kids had chicken fajitas, JB had steak and I had a veggie chile relleno and we shared a chicken tamale. It was all great!
We visited the Cathedral Basilica of St Francis of Assisi in Santa Fe - it was beautiful and reverent. We did not take any interior pictures, but if you are interested, they have their own web albums here.
At the Loretto chapel this miraculous staircase has two 360 degree turns and no visible means of support. While the staircase is a wonder to behold, I found it curious that the chapel is now privately owned for profit??
Apparently there is a whole fleet of these R2D2 mail boxes across the country, but this was the 1st we have seen of them. Luke being the Star Wars guy that he is spied this one on the corner of the Plaza in Santa Fe. I looked up the website www.uspsjedimasters.com but it is not live yet.
