Yesterday, we bought a painting at Diane Pearl Colecciones. It’s a young girl dressed as a dancer in the “Baile Flor de Piña” aka Pineapple Dance. The dance originated in Oaxaca and it’s really worth your time to learn more about it.. http://tiastephanietours.com/baile-flor-de-pina-guelaguetza-cultural-preservation/
This painting is special to Sheri and I. Years ago when we first retired to Latin America, Sheri started bringing pineapples to friends as gifts in place of the more traditional wine/flowers/chocolate items. I thought it was really neat and endearing (and of course it is). But to be honest, we never knew there was a Pineapple dance until yesterday. There is so much Mexican culture to learn about and appreciate
