Art - behold

We are so lucky to be in a Country where art is brilliant; the colors are brilliant, the pieces are brilliant and so many of the Artists are brilliant. For the last 2 months the kids have taken an embroidery class in Lo de Marcos. They have made friends, they have learned the colors and different styles and I have learned I need to do a better job of teaching one of my "students" his, ahem, their, letters.

But, we also were lucky enough to go yesterday to San Pancho (San Franscisco) and do an art project at a place called Entreamigos. This place is fabulous and is so involved in the kids and helping out. If you ever are down in the area, please stop by. Donate. Buy things. Its awesome. More importantly there are lots of art classes weekly both for adults and kids. Our Teacher, Julie, is really an art Teacher on sabbatical from the lovely NW. She also happens to be the wife of my husband's best friend growing up. So, yeah, we traveled 2300 miles to take art classes and hang out with Lorin's best childhood friend and his wife. So worth it. They are both so talented and amazing with all the kiddos! This is part of a huge display they are making. It's going to be fabulous when it's done.

And, we learned how to RECYCLE!
