Our journey began at 3 a.m. in a hotel room in Albany near the airport there and we got to Chimayo, New Mexico, and our magical B & B around 5 p.m. I’ve been all over America in my life, but never to New Mexico, and it startled me with it’s striking landscape, extraordinary architecture, mix of mountains and desert and adobe. Lots of free spirits. We are tired, but I just wanted to share a few photos with you. Maria seems to have come home in a deeply spiritual way.

She is is very attached to this place and tomorrow, we’ll set out to do some exploring, perhaps just walk around Ghost Ranch.

I met the warm and generous man in the photograph at the restaurant where we had Chicken Tostados and Shrimp Enchilada.  He was happy to have his picture taken, and I’ll be back to see him again. Tomorrow, we might just drive out to Ghost Ranch to walk around Georgia O’Keefe’s old home.
