Painting in Mexico

[George Lowry]

Hi Glenn,

It took two weeks. We arrived on a Monday and it was all ready for the
road on the Saturday , 12 days later. We spent Saturday there - the
owners had a BBQ which was tremendous and on Sunday we met them for
breakfast, then went with them to Mexicali for a movie and dinner. It
was a great experience.
