some of it is really really good,
some is asi asi.
But, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder....
I think someone famous said that, but every time you give a quote cite someone looks it up on Google and finds out it was someone else who said it

CUANTO PREGUNTO TE NECESITO COMPRO - How much is the item listed for? |
Having a wife from Guadalajara I need little instruction en la lengua, pero mil gracias hermano
Meanwhile, those prices are ridiculous.... sad to see such nice work go so cheap.
Sort of like the onyx carvings down at Marmol.
At the site they are 10 bucks
at Espinozas they are 25
and in Ensenada they are 50 +
Sort of like pricing gas based on the price of oil futures,
all over the board

it is the middle men who make all of the profits. everywhere, for every commodity. but if you ask Hugo, he is prolly stoked! how much does a canvas
and some pinturas cost? his time is free. we all have free time that could make us some spare pesos, no?
i'm gonna have to snatch one up (or commission one) next time down there...

Little tongue exercises?

Lengua??
If you consider the expense and time it takes to travel to El Rosario, the prices are probably commenserate with the gasoline, insurance, food and
lodging that one must invest in order to make this art purchase.
Gasoline r/t to El Rosario -
4 full tanks of gasoline to El Rosario and back (60 gal@~3.40) = $204
1 night of lodging at Baja Cactus = $35
Dinner for 2 at Mama Espinozas = $40
Car insurance 2 days/48 hrs. = $45
1 night of lodging in San Ysidro = $80
Lunch for 2 at El Palomar, Santo Tomas = $25
Now, you are looking at roughly $500 to buy artwork. There, is where the higher cost factors in.

We brought home both the framed one that Hugo is displaying and the unframed flowers in a vase (left side of pic).

Very cool Big Mike! Thanks for sizing your photos to 800 pixels max (per Nomad guidelines)! Now if we can only get Ken to play as well!

no worries, I use a program called "fast image resizer" and set it for 800x600. I'm sure there is something better but this program is free and you
can grab an entire folder of pics (100's of em) and just drop them into resizer and it automaticaly saves the smaller pics in a subfolder that it
creates called "resized" and it's superfast! about 2sec a photo..

In your house, you speak Guadalajara Spanish - at my place, we speak Castellano. It's all interrelated. I didn't pick up on your slang, hermano. No
offense meant.

Ken, it really takes you 4 tank fulls to do an El Rosario round trip? It is 275 miles from my place and you are about 80 miles north of me, right? 355
miles is an easy 'highway tank' for my V-6 beast which gets 18 mpg, and 20 gallons in Baja is about $60 dollars. So, your 6 only gets 9 mpg highway?
Why wouldn't you eat at Hugo's for about $10 (for two)... best burritos or stuffed potatoes in Baja! Why would you need to stay in San Ysidro when
that is just 2 hours from your home? Lunch at El Palomar? Tacos El Poblado in Maneadero my friend!! An annual policy would cost you less than $1 a day
to fully insure your Jeep, also...
Just trying to help you enjoy more Baja for the buck! |
1. Rubicon instead of the Honda - solid front and rear axle drivetrain that holds up better to pot holes and heavy-duty tires than can withstand
impacts better than the Honda. Plus, the Rubicon has a lifetime alignment that I purchased in 2003.
2. I live 120 miles north of San Ysidro, CA - My Rubicon fills up with 17 gallons of fuel and has a range of approximately 240 miles using
Ethanol-blended gasoline, and approximately 270 miles using non-Ethanol-blended Pemex gasoline. This is part of the reason I drive so slowly compared
to you on the hwy, since every little bit helps. If I drive like a lunatic, I would get closer to 9 mpg hwy. My top end is 85 mph but, I can drive
at 80 mph on a US Interstate Fwy - I won't go faster than 65 in Mexico (based upon lots of experience).
3. Why wouldn't I eat at Hugos? The last time I was in El Rosario, the lights were off (past 10 pm) - I'll try Hugo's next time.
4. Why stay in San Ysidro? 3 reasons - Pool at motel, cool weather, and tired from driving all day/crossing border (blah!).
5. Tacos El Poblano? I don't eat Beef, Goat, etc. My wife doesn't like tacos - period. Gotta go with the flow, my friend.
6. Insurance policy - I'm DEFINITELY purchasing my policy by the annual basis since my Jeep is now paid off.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Ken, you are one of the good guys, never offended by your posts.
As to "Guadalajara Spinach"
Mi esposa rages at me all the time for my "Border Pocho" lingo.
(By the way, where do you think the slang word "lingo" came from? Yep, lengua)
Anyway, my esSpanich is all my own, and proud of it.

I haven't been able to travel to Colombia to practice my Castillian Spanish, and I have a hard time understanding the 'Border Spanish' I hear in
Tijuana (and here in SoCal), so I'm practicing everyday with my wife. Trying not to lose my skills.

Here's the other one we got from Hugo.
had a frame made in Mulege, made from "ironwood"? I think that's what he said....
Shouldn\'t one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check or Sec.8 housing?
........... I had to pass one to earn it for them!
\"I\'ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go?\"

The Flowers and Pomagrantes in front of the sea.
The still life of watermelon, pineapple and other fruit.
The cactus going up the hill
The giant cardon
The one of the Spring that David bought. |
The desert landscapes are his best paintings IMO. Perhaps we've seen them so often that they no longer inspire as much as they should.
I agree about the cave painting with the sea below as you noted.
