The whole place was wonderfully funky. I'm pretty sure I met the same school teacher in Ruidosa, although I don't remember the old church. I might even have gotten up to Candelaria, and I remember drinking some sotol in a handmade clay bottle, stopped with wac and tied with string made from what looked like yucca fiber.<br /><br />Does Carlos Armendariz still have the hardware store in Presidio? Does Rose still run the restaurant at the corner by the highway? Her hubby was the local AC tech.
