Wi-Fi in Mexico

At the moment, we have no internet. There are wonderful coffee shops in the Plaza with Wi-Fi access, and it is nice to have a cafe cortado (macchiato) while I do the internet on my laptop or itouch.


Without media or any connection to the outside world while I am in my house, time expands and goes by more slowly. I have only been in Mexico for a week now, so I am still figuring out my schedule and setting up my Studio. I have gotten a few drawings done, but no painting yet, as I need to buy supplies and set up my art table. I'm also making plans for the 2010 reopening of my Etsy Gallery Juana store.


The other morning we went to a breakfast buffet at a restaurant that has Wi-Fi. The restaurant’s interior is gorgeous and they had an interesting matador and bull sculpture near the entrance. I am not sure if the sculpture is made out of leather or papier- mache.

you make it sound wonderful. I'd love to join you in the Plaza for coffee and talk art.

Knowing how much time I check in on the computer I can imagine those open spaces of time without internet hook-up. Good in many ways, but can see how it might make me feel a little antsy. A good fasting practice!

bird watching and staying home for the summer

Usually summer means several bicycle-camping trips, but with COVID19 still around, we are staying home. In the meantime, I have been pretty productive with my 100 Self Portraits project.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely!
