Isidro’s granddaughters.

Santiago. He now likes me! When he was a baby, he was frightened of me. Last Easter cured that.

Yoli.

Checking out her stash.

Juan Pablo.

The hauteur of the artist!

Isidro immortalized. This is a reproduction of a self-portrait he painted rendered as a tattoo done by his son Wayan. Paloma’s arm is the canvas.

Alejandra and Jose

Marie Jose, Alejandra’s sister. She and Yoli and Alejandra and Yoli’s stepsister Carmen are my English students. Earlier this year, I published photos of Alejandra’s wedding.

Yoli, Juan Pablo, Ellie: sister, brother, wife.

Part of Yolanda’s family.

Eggs sorted and bagged and ready for next year.

This is only about 1/3 of the photos I took. Can’t resist showing them. I have movies of the egg hunt I’ll publish in another blog. The kids will enjoy seeing their photos. We had so much fun.  The adults are Isidro, one of the first friends I made when I came to Mexico. He is an amazing artist.  The tattoo is actually of a painting he did of himself. His son Wayan tattooed it onto his sister Paloma’s arm!  The children around her and Isidro are her and her sister’s. Isidro has 6 grandchildren who are all in these photos.  The youngest searcher is Alejandra’s baby. She is the niece of Yolanda(my housekeepr and friend of 24 years) and I first knew her as a student in the kid’s camp I used to assist with. Paloma, Isidro’s daughter and mom of four of his grandchildren, I knew as a small girl. She won an art competition I sponsored for kids to make posters to encourage people to clean up the lake..So I’ve made it through one generation in Mexico.

I’m going to post this. I’ll post a link to the videos later if you haven’t had your fill of Easter revelries. They are not professional level videos, as a matter of fact the last one I mistakenly recorded in slow motion .  I don’t even know how to do that! It did it itself.  I kind of like the effect, though.  At any rate, here are the stills.
