Monochrome Monday in Mexico
A little history to this one. I met up with cousins for a reunion in Mexico a couple of years ago. We visited a home that one of the cousins grew up in. The house had been sold years ago when both aunt and uncle had passed away. The new owners of the house had kept part of it as the ballet school it had always been, and this is the part of the house that we walked through. My aunt and uncle were very artsy people, so I wonder if this tableau has been there all these years.
Friday Flowers
Welcome to the baking flowers of California. This is not summer. This is not autumn. Up here in Northern California we are to be expecting weather in the mid to high 90’s over the next week or so.
The cat says the flowers are on their own, and he has submitted a requisition for a portable air conditioner for his hidey hole.
Sunday Postcard from Mexico
In San Miguel de Allende several years ago.
It’s getting to be that time of year with Dia de Los Muertos fast approaching (November 1st). It’s one of my favorite times of the year from Mexican culture, my culture. This says autumn to me more than colorful leaves or trees in transition. We remember our ancestors and loved ones now gone. I’ll post more photos over the coming weeks.
Monochrome Monday in Merida
Downtown Merida, Mexico, on my way to the mercado. A day of exploring on my own.
The Sunday Traveler
Not doing any extensive travel of late, but no worries when I live within an hour of one of the greatest cities in the world. Driving in to the City used to be our MO, but we’ve found a better way.
We’ve started using the ferry. Still one hour, without traffic hassles, parking woes, or ridiculous gas prices. And with a senior pass it’s the way to go.
The ferry lands at the Embarcadero with shops and restaurants, and on Saturday the best Farmers Market is right there too!
I could go in every day to visit different parts of the city that is like visiting places from different countries.
It’s a win, win.
