Mexico's Northern Pacific Coast.  In the Village of Bucerias

We met two children seen in this photo. We encountered these little strolling merchants along a venture-walk through town.  The oldest is wearing traditional Central American garments.  The youngest of entrepreneurs had a colorful bundle of woven hand made bands for sale. Of course we selected several to bring home. To this day I wear one as a reminder of the efforts and beauty we admired.

We stopped to have lunch and quench our thirst at a local beachside cafe.

After our lunch,  we discovered a local vendor, "Don Arturo". We spent some time listening as he shared a little history and story about his life.   He was a landscape worker and residence in California until business slowed down and he could no longer keep up with the cost of living.  Eventually he came back to his roots in Mexico. Now he minds his store with many interesting arts, crafts and souveniers for local and tourist attraction.  Come visit la tienda, "POSADA", soon.
Thank you, Arturo!
