The second day we went to Tlaquepaque and I took pictures.

Tlaquepaque (tla-kay-PAH-kay) is where the tourists go to wander and eat and buy things. Famous artists have their outlets there, Bustamante and Padilla, for example. The Clay Museum in there, it is all artesanias really. Marimba bands play, an old woman and her son or nephew who are both blind play and sing, for decades now, and little birdies tell your fortune and it is always dire, for some reason!!! Crowds await the moment that they can betray you, all is dark and you are on the edge of... Sign in to see full entry.

My photo slideshow of Guadalajara.

These first four are just of some things spotted around town and some colors that caught my eye. Remember, I am into patterns lately, dunno why. Sign in to see full entry.

Education is the process of moving from cocksure ignorance to

thoughtful incertainty ~ Utvich's Observations.............and I find most Americans to be as uneducated about their health care system as they are cocksure of what they believe it should or shouldn't be. I am thoughtfully uncertain..........but wish to err on the side of full coverage for all citizens in all circumstances, paid for by taxes on all persons within the borders of the nation.

New neighbors, new dogs, babysitting and making slide shows

The guest house now has a new lady in it and sometimes her boyfriend. They have a white Llasa Apso (sp?) and a brown and red and white English Bull Dog, the froggy kind, both males. My girls have met Cotton the small 7 month old puppy, but haven't met the big guy as yet, only listened to him. They are hyped constantly now tho'. I paid the rent in advance for the first time in years. So, less worries about not having rent money on time. I am officially two months in advance. Gave up eating to... Sign in to see full entry.
