I am sure you will recognize some very important painters.... represented in paper "claveritas" ...


Museo Dolores Olmedo:
It all starts at entering.. the first thing you see, is an incredible large garden. They maguey plants are enourmous, 2 mts. give or take....

Of course, there is a shop...

and the main entrance to the "Dia de muertos"  (Day of the death) exhibition... lLike the entrance to the "Metro..."

The lady selling hazelnuts....

A Metro plan...

The Agile Rabbit, Cabaret...Poems and songs...

This is a painting by Henri Rousseau, also known as the "Aduanero Rousseau" because he used to work in customs collecting taxes. the painting is called "Carriole du Pére Junier" the carriage of Father Junier.

Hermoso fin de semana en los Cabos, Baja California..... Inolvidable!!!   Enjoy!!!
All these videos and photos were taken at Los Cabos. Those of the boat come from the day trip you can take by boat to the famous Arch. Where the Gulf of Cortés and the Pacific Ocean meet. It is a lovely trip by boat, also, Disney's cruise was docked at the marina and we caught it just as it was leaving to Los Angeles.

The blond hair you see is from another person, I just couldn't ask her to move a little to the right!!!!!
