Barbara Agte
Last updated on Friday, June 20, 2003
Barbara Agte lives on the western edge of Columbus, New Mexico, U.S.A. In the small border town, she bathes her bones in the warmth of the New Mexico sun, marvels at the stark beauty and surrealism of the landscape, enjoys Mexico and Mexican culture, and most every day is part of the grand sunrises and sunsets.

Presently, she's working on a collection of letters, some short stories, an article about the magic of Palomas, Chihuahua, Mexico, and another about the miracle of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

With a fascinating history, a 24-hour border crossing, a varied and unique geology, a New Mexico State Park, a museum, and a mild winter climate, Columbus is a New Mexican village which attracts visitors from the U.S., Asia, and Europe year after year.Columbus has had an unusual and colorful history. The village was first established in 1891, just across the border from Palomas, Chih., Mexico. In 1902, when the El Paso/Santa Fe Railroad Line, connecting El Paso to the West, opened its Columbus station, the residents moved themselves and their village three miles north to the present location.
