I just got back from my art show in Marfa, TX. When my Husband and I take this trip we try to stop by our friend’s house in Silver City, NM.
We had car trouble just outside of Tucson, AZ. Our alternator died. Praise Jeebus for Pep Boys. They have rescued us more than once.
We arrived in Silver City the next day. Silver City is a very historic town.
We stayed with Cecilia. She’s a good friend and artist.
We met a few of her friends.
Silver City is a blend of old Mexican families, White ranchers, Artists and has a large gay and lesbian community. Silver City has it’s own unique flavor and customs.

Silver City is also know for their mining.

Cecilia is looking good!
