Two weeks till Art Fest, I’m getting very excited as it all comes together and each chore is finished and put in a tub for transport. Today the Santos frames were checked off the list. They look like a row of soldiers, just wait to see what they will be transformed into.
The first stop from the cruise ship was Puerto Vallarta. I headed for the town square and oldest church, after that I ask to see the cemetery but was told that it was moved up the hill to make room for a parking lot. “Oh that’s too bad”- “No no it was a dead cemetery all the people that came and knew the people there are all gone. There is no one to come visit the dead”. I did find the new cemetery and people came to visit the dead, it’s a beautiful place and very much alive.

It boggles the mind to see these misshaped rocks precariously balanced next to the crashing waves.

Love seeing the shots of Mexico (and the sun!) Those stone sculptures are fascinating. Does he have a trick or just an incredible sense of balance?
