Annual girls' trip with Cheryl: September 14-18, 2016

This year, Cheryl and I went to Santa Fe, New Mexico.  This statue is of  the first Native American to be named a Catholic saint, Kateri Tekakwitha, who lived from 1656-1680.  She was a member of the Mohawk tribe in what is now New York state.

 This statue commemorates the first European settlers to the Santa Fe area in 1598.  The colonists introduced horses, cattle, goats, sheep, donkeys, and poultry to the area.
