Bad Buneee

8 Feb

A busy week watercolor painting to capture the beauty of Merida, Mexico.

Displaying our work.

Five days of painting the diversity of parks, churches, fountains, fruterias, even trains, culminates tonight in a party with music, dancing and food. People will come to peruse and hopefully purchase at silent auction.

Iglesia Santiago (Saint James)

No pressure here, just an agreement to produce five finished paintings in five days.

Ready to go.

However, my plan is to exit the party early to see Bad Bunny perform in the Super Bowl half-time show. I want a packed, rowdy bar where everyone is drunk and cheering. Mexicans love US football. The show will be epic with every Spanish-speaking country glued to the tele. Let’s do it!

This man has so much heart as he tells the audience that we don’t know what tomorrow brings, live today and love one another. You don’t need to speak Spanish to understand that.

A Busy Week In Paradise

4 Feb

Some weeks it’s laze in the hammock, a puppy asleep on my legs and a movie on the pad or book in hand. This has not been one of those weeks.

Sorry Frida, not this week.

Friends from Austin visited and we got to be tour guides.

My rendition of the pyramids of Dzibanché. Love the trees.

Friday night we attended the Baile de Carnaval para Damas “Paris 2018” (Women’s Dance) It was put on by the governor’s wife Gabriela de Rejón de Juaquín. Think Las Vegas meets Mardi Gras meets bachelorette party on steroids. We represented the non-profit Lights of Love Lisa is on the board and a project to renovate the Casa de los Abuelos (Grandparents’ House) for the poorest of the poor in Chetumal is in the works.

The costumes were fabulous. The First Lady takes center stage.

Yesterday, Saturday we attended our dear friend Gabriel’s daughter’s wedding.
