IGLESIA de SANTA MARIA TONANTZINTLA, Puebla Mexico

The interior decoration is called folk or indigenous Baroque. The church was initially built in the 16th century and developed over four phases until the 19th century. At the end of the 17th century, it had its basic layout, cupola, sacristy and main altar. At this time, its intricate stucco work was begun inside and on the apse. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the details included pre-Hispanic elements such as dark-skinned angels, others with blond hair and blue eyes, niches with headdresses, tropical fruits and ears of corn.

I would like to think of myself as a full time traveler. I have been retired since 2006 and in that time have traveled every winter for four to seven months. The months that I am "home", are often also spent on the road, hiking or kayaking. I hope to present a website that describes my travel along with my hiking and sea kayaking experiences.
