Something about my city.



I am from Huejutla de Reyes that is a little town situated in Hidalgo State, 6 hours aproximated from San Luis Potosi. Is a beautiful town in which there are a lot of tradition and culture.



In the centre of the city we can find "The Cathedral" that was build by the "Agustinos" many years ago and was maked by rocks and in the night we can see it iluminated and is beautiful. Also we can see "El Reloj" that was build 100 years ago and every hour it gives the hour and play songs by "Nicandro Castillo" that was a singer and composer from Huejutla de Reyes wich make huapango songs . This is something about the Culture, now I will say a little about the traditions.


In Huejutla one of the most important tradition is celebrate "Xantolo" that are 3 days in november in which we remember the people who is dead and we have to make offerings and go to the cementery to visit the tombs and all the people cook a lot of kind of typical dishes like tamales, hot chocolate, bread, zacahuil and others.


I really love to be from Huejutla is a beautiful and colorful town you can eat very well and enjoy this and more of all the traditions that it have.

Visiting the Museum


Two weeks ago I went to the museum with my friends. There is a paintings exposition created by Roger Von Gunten. He is a switzerland painter, sculptor and poet. He was born in Zurich Switzerland, he came to Mexico in 1957 and he acquired mexican nationality in 1980.


In the firts room i could find his new collection "Arrecifes" that is a project from Isaac Masri. In This collection Roger expresses his thouhgts about the ocean and in his paintings there are a division because he painted some histories with animals and plants in 2 parts that are little confuse for me. Some names of the paintings are: “Rana Reina de los animales”, “Flor de Humedal”, “Up and Down”, and others

Also he has paintings with Mexican landscapes like “Paisaje de Michoacán”.I could see that he really likes paint pictures with the figure of the woman and his paintings are very strangers for me.


Also upstairs there are an exhibition with 19 paintings in which Roger explain all that he has to do when he was in a judgment in opposition to the pictorial art of the civil association in which he had to deliver his works which had a value of more than 200 thousand dollars. These paintings really like me because are texts in paintings in colors that I like as purple white and black.

Go to the museum was a very interesting experience for me because I could learn a little about this brilliant painter.
