Ola Mexico!



Arrived in La Penita on Sunday for our annual trip to La Casa de Los Amigos! This is a terrific B&B, owned and operated by Rosalie Hope. It is right on top of the waves in a small town north of Puerta Vallarta. Our plane arrived a bit late, but we quickly moved through customs, and Munro and I were met by my dear sister of the heart, Mary and her husband Bill.

Each year (now 3 consecutive years) Mary and I bring journals, images, craft supplies and sometimes pick up local objects to alter and do art together each day. We go through all of the anxiety and joy that doing art brings (to some people, not everyone). Mary is a trained artist and has a wide variety of art skills. She's bright, colorful, BIG, and messy. I am untrained, more linear, a bit more minimalistic, learn by the seat of my pants, let's add some sequins kind of gal. But working together, we've each picked up on the other's traits and incorporated them into our skill sets. The result is some amazing art.
