I came through there driving cross-country from Boston in a VW Van with my girlfriend at the time. She was a painter who had correspondence with O'Keeffe. We stopped briefly at Georgia's house in Abiquiu, but O'Keeffe was sick and her constant companion, Juan, wouldn't let us stay long.

I recall that New Mexico had more spirits per square mile than any other place I've ever been. Santa Cruz, CA which is where we ended up for a while, came close.

Nice country. Good times. Beautiful places and people.
