I’ve been in Mexico for the past week enjoying a well-deserved break from very-sub-zero temperatures here in Montreal. We stayed in Bucerias, a few miles north of Vallarta. Although the whole area pretty much exists for tourism, nevertheless there remains an inescapable Mexican core – unlike an all-inclusive resort on an island somewhere, you can’t forget the fact that you’re a guest in another country. The highlight of the trip for me were the galleries in Vallarta itself – there were some great pieces on permanent display and some very compelling exhibitions starting while we were there. In particular, a local artist named Brewster Brockmann had an opening, and although we passed on the vernissage, the new pieces were very interesting.
