The Last Detail

It's been a diverse week.  I went to the Madonnari Festival in Puerto Vallarta, which features chalk art on the sidewalks by both established artists and beginners.  It has been done for several years in partnership with Puerto Vallarta's U.S. sister city, Santa Barbara.
I also went to the weekly market in Lorenzo Cardenas Park.  Even bought an interesting glass mask from a nearby shop.
With the start of the new cruising season, cruisers are arriving and departing often.  Had to help one friend dispose of his leftover food and wine one evening.  No sacrifice is too great.  I spent one day back in La Cruz helping my friend Bob remount his cockpit table, and of course I had a few minor projects of my own, mostly annoying little details.   Yesterday I hopped on a plane to LA to look after Carol while she recovers from the foot surgery she's having tomorrow.  Now suffering from both jet lag and culture shock.

Interesting, but not my style

I did buy this mask for 300 pesos.

I liked the modern look, the iridescence, and...

...the way it changes in different light.
