Couldn’t decide which of these views I like best, so surprise! You got them both.  I like how it shows the palm in all of its stages, both growing and as construction material.

La Manzanilla Feb. 3 and 4

Geronimo read an amazing portion from his novel in process
Had a chat with Martin, whose restaurant we met at.
Saw old friends Mary Jo
and Lynda.
And Pepe observed us.
When I got home, I had a little nap but was awakened by a pounding on the glass door os my room. When I went to investigate, this is the shadow I saw through the drapes
And this was the fellow demanding entrance to my room.
I went out to get a better view of him. . .

or down.
up
A novel reinvention of a broken sink handle.
The bartender seemed delighted with her job.
Meanwhile in the streets the rodeo cowboys staged their shows.
And yet another entertainment that night.
This morning I had another visitor.. He seemed to be most interested in the bowl of dry catfood below.
Eventually kitty perked up
And jumped down to investigate him

Anthurium

Love this unusual coloration for an anthurium. Actually, I photographed it in Mexico some months ago but never used it before… and a chance to use my new background removal tool!

It has been a packed two days since we arrived in La Manzanilla  around 5 PM yesterday. Music at Cocuno Bar and Restaurant on the beach, a rodeo parade, then the next day the tiangus (weekly outdoor market), a ride to Chantli Mar up the coast, back to the Crocodile bar for music and breakfast, a visit to the Manzanilla Gallery where I was able to find the talavera pottery I didn’t find at the tianguis and also so see my own work they were displaying, then an art opening at Gallery 10 and dinner.  I saw dozens of people I hadn’t seen in a year. Tomorrow, more thrills.
