"Gargoyles & Graffiti"chronicles architectural elements that I find interesting or unique in my travels. Gargoyles are my passion, but today graffiti (which I hate but am learning to love as it is everywhere) is as much a part of architecture as the gargoyles and decorative railings that thrill me.

Viva Mexico: Happy Independence Day

Fireworks in Cozumel night of Sept. 15th for Independence Day


Desiree Duncan of Cozumel: manicure in honor of Mexican Independence Day
Happy Independence Day, Mexico! It has now become a gargoyles & graffiti tradition with the feet, so here we go again. Desiree was kind enough to allow us to post her beautiful Mexican Independence Day manicure. Viva Mexico!






The festivities start tonight and go through tomorrow.

Last but definitely not least, I am making this a graffiti post ... my favorite graffiti in Cozumel ... across the street from the plaza where our store is at 2 and 30th

  2. Yes, I thought it was a crossover. Wanted to do another blog post on Cozumel on my gargoyles and graffiti as Cozumel is one of the best cruise ship ports, and even though most of my posts are on Europe .... this is a special weekend here.
    Obviously on my designincozumel blog, makes sense as it focuses on Cozumel. I made each one a little different though. Wish you were here!

  5. By the way, the graffiti has been painted over. The new one that replaced it is really cool too. Must add to my list to photograph!
