One new theory is that perhaps the altitude here is a factor. Start with a heart that works poorly, and then add thinner air, and you get distress. We were talking with a woman who works in a local hospital. She says that in many cases older people who do fine in places like Ohio need oxygen when they come out here.
Yesterday was mostly not an exciting day. Clean-up. Connie did a load of laundry, and then we were at the car dealer getting a wire that had been knocked loose tightened up. Has to do with the oxygen level in the fuel.
However, we did go down to the Square in Santa Fe, which really is remarkable: different and beautiful! Almost all the architecture in the whole city is adobe. In addition, they limit the height of commercial signs so that they don't "stick up" and spoil the appearance of the impressive skyline.
Still haven't decided what we will do today. I am inclined I think to start home via a lower altitude path. But we need to look at maps and the weather forecast, etc.
We have been very fortunate on the weather. Yesterday it was clear and lovely, and then it has been getting cool at night as well.
