I've had a full house here at Casa Luz de Luna lately. Among my recent visitors was John Sullivan, a good friend from Vashon Island, Washington, who came to San Pancho for the first time with my sister Denise. We all had a lovely time lazing at the beach, visiting Greg at the Blue Pig, doing New York Times crossword puzzles, talking 'til late, and playing countless games of Mexican Train dominoes.
John roamed the house with his camera several times and took a slew of photos, which he generously shared with me. I thought it would be fun to share them with you: some views of the casa, now with a bit of age and use on her, through another photographer's eyes.
(That last photo is of Dinah, the house lizard, keeping an eye on yet another visitor.)
This week is Semana Santa, the week leading up to Easter and a major holiday period here in Mexico. Our beach is filling up with campers and families on vacation. There will be music and dances, processions and pageants and celebrations throughout Mexico. I'll keep my camera at the ready and hope to have some photos for you next week.
Meanwhile, thanks to John for this week's pictures. Happy Easter and happy spring to you all! (And Feliz Cumpleaños to my son, who turns 26 today ☺)
All photos by John Sullivan
He does have a good eye, Jeanne. For example, he noticed and took the photo of which you speak: actually one of the old carved wood doors...with peeling layers of old red, blue, and turquoise paint!!

Beautiful! I've been wanting to see new photos of your beautiful casa. These are excellent! Several things shown that I missed on my visit in Sept. - photo 17 - the wood carving with what looks like inlaid coral, lapis and another stone - don't think it's turquoise but may be - beautiful but I don't remember seeing it. Your friend has a good eye!

Well, of course, Gretchen--it's the Easter Chicken!

What an amazing camera eye John has. And all the little special touches at Casa Luz de Luna have not been missed. Beautiful to look at. She is "aging" well.
