New Mexico was fabulous.
Just incredible.
The atmosphere is very laidback and it's one of those places where moments happen that you know you'll never forget.
My aunt = a great hostess. Enough said!
Oh, and the green chile there? Amazing.
The trip did what I thought it would for me. I'm relaxed, happy, and at a complete peace of mind. I went salsa dancing a few times, met some very nice people, listened to great music, and just had a fantastic experience. I know my aunt would love if I came back for grad school, but I'm going to have to see if UNM has a public health program (Pitt is still my number one choice so far!).
I just can't believe the trip is over...it went by so quickly, and each day we were so busy. I'm glad to be back only because I know I have so much to do in the next week before I go back to school!
I leave you now with a poem that I saw in the Indian Arts Museum:
I am the earth at my feet
and the rain that softens it
and I am thankful
I am the clay in my hands
and the shapes they craft
and I am respectful
I am the story in my mind
and the prayer in my heart
and I am wiser
We are one moment
in a tradition everlasting
and we are honored
-E
