Ball Player

Journey to Old Mexico; we took a trip down to old Casas Grandes in Chihuahua and stayed with friends for a short visit. Our friend is an artist in resident in the old town of Casas Grandes. Needless to say we went to every tacos stand and restaurant and enjoyed great margaritas. A stunning week of art and artist, touring dwellings, Museums, Heritage sites, pottery of pre-Hispanic Mimbres and Casas Grandes cultures.

The Ball Player was painted on a shed door in the courtyard of the hacienda we stayed at in old town. The experience of yesteryear and today was enjoyed and we sampled the southwestern flavors, of Old Casas Grandes.
