I think everywhere is beautiful. I love travel, and graffiti and murals and street art.
​I love quirky and beautiful and color.
​This is my viewfinder.

2018 Travels

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico 2018

I spent 3 weeks in Mexico in December 2018, beginning and ending in PV. I was blown away by the long pier and waterfront; the investment the city has made in absolute whimsy is amazing. I did my best to capture the artists' impression on me, and the colorful life of La Malecon. Click the images to go to slideshows.

San Miguel de Allende, Mexico 2018

This was my third trip to San Miguel de Allende, and it is easy to understand why it is an international favorite. Gorgeous light, incredible architecture, clean and well cared for, vibrant with contented citizens and the usual array of color and sound Click the pictures to see the slideshows: streets, churches, and murals.

Guanajuato, Mexico 2018


​Meh.
​Guanajuato at New Year was not as much fun as I'd hoped, or maybe I was just tired. I found it less clean and the people less friendly and contented seeming as the citizens of San Miguel. Maybe they were just tired too. The end of a long busy season. Nonetheless, Guanajuato has its charms. Click on the picture to see the slideshow.

Tlaquepaque, Mexico, 2018

Just a quick overnight to a posh neighborhood in Guadalajara. Fun to walk about, and our small hotel was lovely, maybe too short a visit to make a proper assessment.

Bucket List Items √

Turtle Release
​Sayulita ~ Mexico, 2018

We set up for 5 days in Sayulita, planning to explore and excursion out from there, but 2 of our party got sick, and stayed in town the whole time. The highlight was releasing freshly hatched sea turtles from the rescue hatchery on the beach, and enjoying the simple pleasure of walking the beach from end to end, absorbed by the sound of the waves and the changing light.

#iheartstreetart

There is a lot of great graffiti in the world, and murals, mosaics, sculptures and other forms of creative magic you find in every city and town if you are looking. One of my favorite things to do.
