una boda en el campo

hil and i just got back from our first wedding in new mexico. our friend karen got married under an oak tree by a little spot called indian creek somewhere in the vast pecos wilderness.

it was a western theme.

we hiked to a meadow for the ceremony. of course hil and i were overdressed californians in our linen pants and sandals. everyone wore cowboy boots and jeans. duh. we walked past karen's and chip's horses on the way to the hay-baled sanctuary. the newlyweds are going camping, horseback riding and hiking all week for their honeymoon and anyone is invited.pretty sweeeeeeetttt!

we waited around for an hour and a half for the wedding to start. and i was uptight about being late. bienvenidos a nuevo mexico.

the ceremony was followed by a barn dance at frankie's casanova BBQ in downtown pecos. we (I) ate bbq slathered chicken and beans and salad and bread- now i'm really crabby.i wanted to buy a hagen daz icecream on a stick with nuts at the agora market on the way home, but cho wouldn't let me cuz she said i'd be worse off.

chip's dad is slick. i think he owns part of the mountain or something. if you look this cool you deserve a mountain.

peace out, gringos.
