Day Five, Tuesday, October 27, 2015
Today is the first day of the in class portion of the Michael deMeng experience. I like to get up early and go for a walk after breakfast at each remote location workshop and this was no exception.

The classroom alter for Dia de Los Muertos has an image of my Dad.
Today's excursion was to Na Bolom, the former home of archaeologist Frans Blom and the documentary photographer Gertrude Duby Blom, now a fine museum.
This art, sold on the streets by the artist seen below, was remarkable and many of the students bought a piece.
