Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village
A Wonderful Sunday at Tlaquepaque

Photo by Lisa Peters

I love to visit Tlaquepaque Arts & Craft Village any day of the week any time of the year, but for the first time in all my time living in the area I went to the village early on a Sunday morning. I was not expecting much, it was around 8:00 am and I knew the galleries would not be open yet. To my surprise their were a few people there enjoying a bite at the Secret Garden Cafe, I checked out their menu and it looked pretty good but breakfast was not on my mind. I proceeded into the Village and it was like I had never been there before. Everything looked different.
