Oh dear! I was so addled, stressed, discumbobulated when we left Vancouver that I didn't pack the battery chargers for my cameras! That will eventually make a huge difference to my blogging unless I borrow a camera. Maybe the battery will last for 2 months??
We left PV this morning and drove to Tlaquepaque vis Mascota and Guadalajara. Our first stop in Mascota coincided with a Sunday church service. Standing outside we listened to the congregation sing praises and watched as they all shook hands and hugged one another. The church was full!
This bucolic mural is backdrop for a sculpture
of a beloved Mascota clergyman from the past.
Seven and a half hours later we arrived in Tlaquepaque and checked into our quaint hotel. Behind a blank, uninteresting wall we discovered an oasis of greenery, a swimming pool, restaurant and our suite with a winding metal staircase up to the second bedroom. Needless to say, our bedroom is on the ground level! After the long drive we wandered through the town and visited Sergio Bustamante's gallery.
Sergio's works are displayed in room after room with an outdoor water feature in the centre.
The sculptures are often whimsical, sometimes colourful
and always tell a story. His first exhibition was held in 1966.
Since then, he has maintained a studio and gallery in Tlaquepaque.
Even the washroom allows for creative imagery.
The statue looks like Harry Potter!
