Seem to have far too many images swimming around my head. Was shocked, amused and intrigued by the press coverage of BP's Mr Brown. Lot's of images flooded my mind and dreamt of some wierd tattoos

Arriving at Palenque
Temples at Palenque - The first time I visited this site I was bowled over by the heat. Throughout the day it got hotter and hotter and we ended up swimming in a natural waterfall nearby which was freezing
Chichen Itza
The temples and carvings at each of the ancient ruined cities I visited were remarkably peaceful and beautiful. It was hard to imagine the brutal sacrificial rites that must have been carried out by the high priests. Many of the people were offered as human sacrifices to appease their Gods.

Glyphs - I would like to consider using these images as inspiration for a series of mini mono prints which could all be mounted individually in a grid format like this display in the museum.

Off to market - I visited so many markets and also spent time with the women learning how to weave. By the time I came home I was weighed down with beautiful examples of their work which I had bought from them at various markets. Sadly very few huipiles are now made with natural fibres or embroidered with silk thread.
