Maria's

Mike and I, along with Tracy and Gary, trudged up to see Maria's latest art glass/concrete creation. We had sort of committed ourselves to buying her latest piece last year when it was only about ten percent finished, but seemed to have great promise as being her most spectacular piece yet. Learning that it had now taken her about a full year, and with the economy in the youknowwhere, we began to worry about the price of this little art investment. Can't believe Mike didn't take a photo of it while we were there. Guess we are all too awestruck to remember that....meaning the piece was unbelievably gorgeous, and the price was about $20,000. We took a sad pass on buying it, but spent another hour being lectured by Maria on the care and feeding of cacti, and her garden is pretty impressive. That might just be Mike's new project, building a cactus garden here in Mulege
