March 1987 – Santa Fe

We saw the movie “The Gods Must be Crazy” as part of our mythology course! Great! All the courses are very worthwhile and taught beautifully. We are learning a lot – esp. about the Pueblo Indians (taught by a charming and beautiful Pueblo woman). The jewelry and boots, western type clothes around here are dear to my heart! But the wind blows all the time and it is still very chilly except at midday. We’re off to Las Cruces tomorrow for the weekend – then homeward.

Love, Va.

Santa Fe, March 1987

We just toured the museum and saw a lot of O’Keefe’s lovely paintings. Most will be displayed in her home which will become a museum of its own at some time. We are very comfortable, share a bath with another couple. Food is very adequate, students and staff very friendly. The “Creation” class is deep, but no one goes to sleep. We are now in the bar of La Fonda Hotel. Jewelry is fabulous!
