I am going to talk about something real scawy! Ready? It is about visiting Mexico!  Now that is scawy!  hahahaha!!! While Sam was off running around a volcano, on our second day, I was enjoying my first cup of coffee and playing with a new photo app.  Check out all these pics. Where I had my morning coffee and journal writing meditation. I found some of Jesse's tools at the place we were staying at. Well after about an hour of waking up and messing around it was time to get into the studio.  Let us see if I can remember how to get to Jesse's studio.   Let the adventure begin!   Yes, you too can walk by yourself in Mexico.  Well at least in San Miguel.  I feel so comfortable there. Except for all those damn cobblestones!   I dread walking on those things.  I suggest good walking shoes.  No heels unless you want to snap your stiletto clean off!
