Oh, my goodness, no thank you, Luis. I need to stay here on Sesame Street to count things!" The Count suggests that Big Bird would like to go. Big Bird is interested, but he needs to know: What's New Mexico? Luis explains that New Mexico is part of the United States. There are a lot of Indians and Spanish-speaking people who live there, and they named the state after the place where the Spanish-speaking people came from, Mexico. Big Bird agrees to go, and the Count shouts, "Wonderful! Two people going to New Mexico. Two people and one truck!" Maria enters, and the Count insists that she should go on the trip.
