Trip to Magdalena, the Opal Town - April 16 - 17

Astonishing Colour, Wonderful Wind, Creating in my INSIDE OUTSIDE STUDIO, quite ideal

We Are Heading to Magdalena to Look at Opals and Find Some for Ivan's Jewelry - April 14/2015

Hello Folks,

We are planning a trip to Magdalena, the Opal Town. Mexican Fire Opals are beautiful and it's the place to find them. Ivan wants to create some new jewelry using these beautiful opals hand chosen.

We will leave her on April 16 and return April 17 unless we find the little towns require another day or so. (I doubt it)

Our old red Sunfire Pontiac (refurbished, but working well) should get us there:)

I am studying about Mexican Fire Opals and Irene sent us lots of tips. It will be an adventure and what could be smaller to take home?

The days are warmer now, but it's dry so when it 90 degrees (30 c) it doesn't feel too hot. Many days are cooler and perfect for my silk painting.

Our thoughts are slowly moving to life back home, we will be in Gibsons on May 13.  I look forward to another summer! This trick of enjoying two summers is often confusing, but it suits us.

Warmest Greetings,

Evi y Ivan

Some Photos Karen Took During her Visit to Jocotepec

Our visiting friends are our third set of eyes, showing us new and different ways to view the surrounding beauty. It is a joy to share this little bit of paradise with others. It always allows me to make new disoveries, deepen connections with my Mexican friends and celebrate life.
