Upon rising we would gather in the "great room" and drink our coffee. Taking in the wonderful smells that Maria was creating. Mary was never far away, directing each meal. We were all so lucky to sit at her table. Fresh papaya, quesadillas, eggs, salsa, warm breads, and much more that I am not remembering at the moment.
We then took our time to pack up our painting equipment. Something that I had done the night before, as I am notorious for forgetting something important. We began our trip out for the day, and headed for an area Mary had suggested to Michael call Mineral de Pozos. We pulled over a few times, and finally found ourselves along the side of a road where there were ruins of old structures. We were taking in the views, when we heard a voice from nearby. Mary was having a conversation with a woman who obviously had set herself up as the caretaker of the area. She had some homemade items to sell, and she was selling her services to "protect" our belongings. She pointed out for us to be careful not go near the shafts to the mines. I looked over the edge of one, and OH MY...it took my breath away. I could not see the bottom of it.
Michael set up shop and found a lovely view to offer us a demonstration. The sky was changing often, as the clouds moved rather quickly.

You took some wonderful pictures Robin and of course the experience is so nicely recorded by your paint brush and soul.
I remember we had to rush as the clouds descended on us and we had to pack up. So this painting is unfinished.
Beautiful pictures.
Good job on this and your posts. Sounds like such a great trip.
