Miraflores

Last year we had a great time in the town of Miraflores 45 minutes from Los Barriles with Bob’s sister Lynn and her husband David (see link HERE).

Today we returned, found Guadalupe in his furniture-making shop, and showed him photos of the items David made from the Palo de Chino wood he bought from Guadalupe.

He was most impressed with David’s skill and called him an “intelligent wood worker”.  We agree.

Guadalupe also took us to his workshop adjacent to his home to show us more wood samples, some furniture he’s in the process of making, and tell us about a large sculpture he recently completed of dolphins which is scheduled to be installed at the San Jose del Cabo marina.

We wish we could see it, as his workmanship is incredible. He told us about his 10 grandchildren, inquired whether we had any, insisted he recalled us from our visit last year and gave Cathryn a hug and kiss on the cheek on our departure. We promised to visit him again next year.
