SANTA FE COUNTY - Romance and enchantment thrive in Santa Fe
County. In fact, the allure of romantic Santa Fe County might
cause many to believe that this is where Cupid vacations in
the winter. This Valentine's Day, Cupid boards the Santa Fe
Southern Railway for a romantic Dinner Train Ride and experiences
the ultimate in rest and relaxation at some of Santa Fe County's
world famous spas.

Thursday, February 14 and Friday, February 15, the Santa Fe
Southern Railway (SFSR) Valentine Dinner Train departs for an
evening of enchantment and romance. Dinner aboard the train
is served just after departure at 6:00pm from the old Santa
Fe Depot in Santa Fe. Passengers arrive at the famous Lamy Depot
for live entertainment by classical guitarist and vocalist Rick
Mena until 8:30pm when the Dinner Train begins its relaxing
return to the Santa Fe Depot.

Whether traveling in Coach or Silver Class, you will be traveling
in style. Coaches on the SFSR are charming vintage cars which
have been authentically restored or renovated with a southwestern
look. Silver Class cars are vintage ATSF Super Chief cars which
afford riders a cozier, more intimate experience. Whether riding
on the authentically restored Acoma Lounge Car or the Plaza
Lamy Pleasure Dome, you'll experience the romantic, comfortable
luxury of the Valentine Dinner Train. Individual ticket prices
are $60 for Coach and $80 for Silver Class. To make reservations
or for more information call 1-888-989-8600.

Top off a fantastic night on the rails with a night at one
of Santa Fe County's world famous, luxurious spas. Relax with
your special valentine in a public or private tub, or indulge
yourself with a salt glow or massage at Ten Thousand Waves,
a Japanese-style spa nestled in the mountains. Soothe the soul

Basin southeast of Santa Fe. The wide selections of treatments
include hot stone massage (given inside a teepee in the summer
months), Shiatsu, Swedish, Polarity and energy movement therapy.
