Wednesday, March 6, 2019 This day started off with breakfast in this beautiful building. This painting depicts some legends of Guanajuato. This building used to be a grainery! Our hotel - Hotel Hacienda de Cobos The view from the street by the La Valenciana Church/mine La Valenciana Church, side view Un perro, su nombre es Pintor. (A dog, his name is Painter) Pintor!! He was enjoying the head scritches. These paintings were huge! I can't even guess how big.. Pinter followed us on our tour lol. The mouth of the Valenciana Mine. This painting depicts a mine worker mining by candlelight since they didn't have electricity back then. Some miners actually went blind from coming out during the day and going into the sunlight from the dark mine. Salvador!! Christine and mom. Auntie Lorna...
