Friday, August 25, 2006 — When I went to Tlaquepaque recently, we were driven by Victor Cueto Valencia, a good friend of some of the women I went with. (He drives his van on custom trips as one of the businesses he is in, and he is a very good driver. His website is www.gdlmexicotours.com) Victor, who is from Tlaquepaque, took us by a project he’s in the middle of: remodeling an historic old building which he owns. These shots are all taken in the interior of the building, including the courtyard.

UPATE 2009:  The remodel is finished and Victor turned it into a really charming Tlaquepaque B&B. The link takes you to his website.

Let’s start with Victor himself:
The courtyard shows work at various stages.

I was so impressed with the way the workman carried the bricks up the ladder that I came in for a closer look:
This lovely old adobe wall is being festooned with objects:
And here’s a close-up of the wall:

This is part of an antique door. The white plaster will come off later.
Victor glances back just before we leave.
