Our domes

Viny has now driven to school and back both yesterday and today, without incident, so I think he is a good driver. He took these first photos today, as he got home earlier than usual. The first two show the front entrance to the spa, the workers are constructing rock steps up the incline to the pretty entrance, I want the shape of the steps to be suggestive of a pyramid, and the little tree will be growing up through the steps.


















































Alberto put up a large Mexican flag today on our roof, it is now windy and we can hear his flag flapping in the wind.
















The shirtless guy is Dionisio, he and his workers are constructing the two paths for cars to drive on, this is the circular turnaround at the end of the parking area. I think we will have ample parking.

This photo is of one of the three domes for the spa, each dome is two meters wide, and the little glass circles are cheap glasses and glass dishes from the local dollar store, and the workers are currently putting cement over the dome. In the middle is a rose colored flower vase which is hidden by the little piece of wood which was supporting the flower vase. Tomorrow the workers will cement the inside of the dome and then will remove the wire holding the glass pieces. There will be two lights near the base of the dome inside which can provide light at night. I have liked these domes ever since the frames were made of re-bar.
