Sender: emotis
emotis went to Mexico for a holiday and offered to send cards from there for participating RR members. Luckily I managed to get a place in the RR and here is the result, my very first card from Mexico, TQ emotis!
Puerto Vallarta is a city and popular vacation resort on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. The church in the card is called "Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe" (Our Lady of Guadalupe Church). Construction began in 1918 and was completed in 1951. The gilded crown that tops the beautiful church is a replica of the crown worn by Carlota, empress of Mexico in the 1860s, the base of which is decorated with eight angels holding hands. The original crown was made of concrete and was unfortunately damaged in the 1995 earthquake, but has since been replaced by one done by a famous local sculptor.
