Back from Mexico!

The Zagars returned from Mexico last week laden with beautiful works of folk art, jewelry, clothing, pictures, stories and more!

They visited the beautiful mosaics of Trish Metzner, in Zacatlan de las Manzanas. Metzner has been working with a team of Mexican artists and volunteers for more than 2 years to complete a 300 foot mural that surrounds Zacatlan’s oldest cemetery.
