Summary:The first time she spoke with Betita about travel, in 1976, she told her that there was magic in New Mexico. She was planning a vacation to Colorado and New Mexico with her husband and her recently born daughter. She remembers thinking that anyone who could point them in that direction would be a wonderful traveling companion. Little did she imagine that in future years she would have the privilege and the pleasure of traveling with Betita and learning from her while on vacation. From their other travels in Mexico, what stands out is pure fun: encounters with mutual friends, a trip with her daughter Rebecca to Taxco, relaxation at the Cuernavaca house of Betita's cousin Manena -- and the presence of Betita's long-time, larger-than-life close friend from New Mexico, Rini Templeton. For decades, Betita has been changing the world ,one reader, one conversation, and one listener or audience at a time.
