More from Mexico

[ellenkushner]

Your comments on my previous post about our Mexican writing retreat (with 8 other people) made me laugh (where appropriate), feel happy, and generally enjoy having you all in my Virtual Salon here.

Here is a wonderful article about the guy here who made my magical rings, David Godinez.  (Backstory:  All my life I've wanted to wear massive rings - the kind that yell "Renaissance Prince!"  The kind that imply "Mess with me and I'll have your house burnt" or simply "Kiss me, you fool."  But every time I've tried them on, they just look overwhelming and ill-placed on my hands.  [Oddly, Delia, who has even more delicate bones than I do, can wear big rings much better than I.  Must have to do with proportion.]  So when I found first one and then the other in Godinez' shop, I was sooo happy!)


Here is that fountain in the courtyard:




And here is the view from our house's rooftop - which is, alone, bigger than my apartment:



I hope all these bright colors & sunlight have served to cheer you.  I hear it's pretty gloomy up north, where I will be returning on Monday.  BUT I am glad to say that I have made some progress on the novel.  I'm not at all sure I hate it or that it will be a total disaster, after all.

Those are gorgeous rings.

Not expensive, either! Nothing here is. It's a bit shocking - especially after New York.
