Mexican Art

We spent some time in Quartzsite, Az and then decided we needed to get a few things done before the snowbirds all hit Yuma so we moved to Yuma.  The new resort we will be working at isn't ready to open yet so the owners had us park at Las Quintas Resort in Yuma for free until we can move to the new park.  Its very nice where we are -- the resort has a pool, hot tub, shuffleboard, bocci ball, volleyball, an exercise room and a rec hall with a laundry, library and pool tables.  So we should be able to keep busy playing while we wait. 

We went to Algodones, Mexico -- you just walk in from an Indian casino parking lot in the U.S. -- and we brought a piece of wood and an old gold pan to have painted.  If you have never seen spray paint art that the Mexicans do you should put it on your list of must sees.  It is amazing -- the artist that did our sign and the scene on the pan just used spray cans of paint and a scrunched up plastic bag as a brush.   He did have some cardboard cutouts for the animals to use as a guide otherwise it was all free hand.  We wish we could think of something else to have painted.  We've seen people bring all kinds of things across the border to have painted.  

Its been in the high 90's here in Yuma but its supposed to cool down to the high 80's starting this week which would be a little nicer for relaxing outside.
