ReplyDeleteHappy Cinco De Mayo to you!
I brought cajeta de leche con platano for the pot luck lunch.
I remember all of the paintings!!
ReplyDeleteMy History public textbooks were full of them, I was often puzzled and amazed at how many Castas there were listed:
Peninsular,Indio,Negro,Chino, Castizo, Meztizo, Albino, Tornaatras, mulato, lobo, coyote, and so many more! And of course a painting for each of them...
Thank you for remembering us folks from the Spanish Main :D
Interesting.
ReplyDeleteThere's so much to be read about cultural relations and views in all those paintings. I'm really enjoying examining them!
ReplyDelete@Retro, YUM!
