Lots of artists and writers visit Santa Fe or Taos, but another beautiful and inspirational place is near Abiquiu, New Mexico: Ghost Ranch. It is the land made famous by the paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe and is now owned by the Presbyterian Church. For several years I've had the pleasure of teaching creative writing classes as part of the summer Creative Arts Festival and again in October's Fall Writing Festival. The new catalog is now out and early registration comes with discounts. Log on at http://ghostranch.org/ and look at the offerings. You can see my course description quickly if you enter "Jane Taylor" in the search box. I'll expand on these classes and the post more pictures of this amazing place later, but if you have questions now, I'll be happy to tell you all I know.
I'm actually tying to convince my mom that this is where she wants to go for vacation this year... She always likes to go somewhere "cooler"--usually northern New Mexico. But we'd probably end up going over July 4th, and I noticed you're not teaching a class then!
