This big old house

Friends of Omar and Carlos come by before their meeting with an architect. Somehow we come along and explore a serious old house

You can see five rooms come off of this hallway. With another room at the front and more behind, this place is gigantic

Courtyard adjacent to the hallway

Needs work

This is how you deal with cob webs and 17 foot ceilings

Lots of flotsam

Some nuggets

Carlos and Omar have outdone themselves! They used to have a lot of stuff in a small house and now they have a lot of stuff and a lot of house. It is expertly done and around every corner is a surprise and a delight.

Grand old buildings

A quick trip to Merida Mexico

We are here for the one year anniversary of when they moved here. Their house is just magnificent. Here are a few pictures of their house which they have renovated
