On July 25, 2009, my primo Chava and I visited Casa Olga Costa, the Olga Costa and Jose Chavez Morado Museum in their former home. The museum contains over 70 works from the artists, as well as their possessions and personal art collection. In addition, the rear patio contains a beautiful patio and garden that contains many cacti and succulents, as well as stone art pieces. It is certainly a cultural stop worth taking and the museum curator has the best recipe for café de la olla that he will gladly share with you. This garden is also an inspiration for mine. Enjoy!</p></blockquote>http://cactguy.tumblr.com/post/51040335346http://cactguy.tumblr.com/post/51040335346Tue, 21 May 2013 21:34:31 -0500gtoguanajuatocasa olga costacactussucculentmuseomexico<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b93807c47eaf14bd147f337590125852/tumblr_mn6bgdcwcq1qj9asyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>¡No dejes que la lluvia te detenga!</p>http://cactguy.tumblr.com/post/51029107816http://cactguy.tumblr.com/post/51029107816Tue, 21 May 2013 19:17:01 -0500cactussucculentcactguyrain
