One of the Things to See in Santa Fe is the Loretto Chapel, which houses a 'miraculous' staircase built by an itinerant carpenter who showed up in town on a mule.
It turns out, Betsy and I had both heard of this staircase, and (perhaps tellingly) had both seen it on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries as a kid.
Unfortunately, the staircase isn't as cool now as it used to be -- when it was built, it didn't have a banister, owing to its novel design. They added one later for 'stability and safety', and now it seems more like a normal spiral staircase.
The actually disturbing thing is that B remembers the theme to 'Unsolved Mysteries', and could actually whistle it on command. That, of course, is why I love her. :)
