tonala

Friday morning my fellow would be spanish speakers and I took a field trip to Tonala. It's an artisan area on the outskirts of Guadalajara. My favorite bit was the glass blowers. We watched these guys make glass apples, which is way cooler than it sounds. Believe me.

Ten points if you can spot my roommate, take a little looksy for Laura. That was a lot of the letter L. That sentence too...someday I'm going to OD on alliteration. Mark my words.


We also went to a paper mache factory to check out these enormous animals made of recycled paper and painted with a high sheen gloss.

Who could resist a photo op with Frida Kahlo? I mean really? Not I.
