Trip with Pix 1

I will recreate parts of the Chiripa buying trip to Mexico complete with pictures and information this time. We began the trip February 14 at Enart, a semi-annual handcrafted gift show in Tlaquepaque just outside of Guadalajara. Our first hotel was Hotel San Francisco in downtown Guadalajara. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good location at a reasonable price.


Our room was on the second floor (no elevator) overlooking an interior courtyard/dining room below. The buffet breakfasts are great. Our first morning's fare included fish. I suspect it was because it was the first Friday of lent.

While in Guadalajara we stopped by the concurrent furniture show to visit with Lulu and Alfredo at their exhibit of Wood and Copper. We picked out some new furniture pieces with copper accents. We hope to have shipment by mid-April and it will include end tables, coffee tables, and bedside stands, as well as copper frames.


I hope to continue adding info and images as I have time. Look for more in a couple days.
