Wanderings backwards again


So now stepping on board the wayback machine, we whisk you back in time to January 2017, Ciudad de Mexico aka CDMX and a visit to the Museo Dolores Olmeda/
Museo Dolores Olmeda: http://www.museodoloresolmedo.org.mx/the-museum/
A beautiful site with a small collection of Diego Rivero and Frida Kahlo pieces, folk art and changing exhibits.  But the real attraction is the museum itself and the grounds.  A peaceful oasis in the middle of chaotic CDMX. 




These critters are Xoloitzcuintli, Xolo for short or Mexican Hairless dogs, a breed going back 3500yrs.  in mesoamerica.  They keep a bunch of them on the grounds of the museum.









 This is one of the temporary exhibits at the museum.  Sorry, I didn't make note of who the artist was.

This gets interesting at around :50  























I'm sorry if I've given the impression that these posts are from current travels.  No, I've been home for a month and a half.  There's just too much going on sometimes to keep up with the blog so I'm always catching up.
