I wanted to include this gallery in my offerings and apologize for the quality in regard to image sharpness,etc.These pictures were taken on a trip to Mexico in 2003 when I was shooting with a fairly inexpensive Canon point and shoot.I did want you to see though the brilliant colors of Mexico and also give you a tour of Colima City near Manzanillo.Colima city is the capital of Colima State.We were there on Jan.21st and this wonderful city was hit by a massive 7.6 magnitude earthquake the day after we were there,leaving many dead.Wanted you to see it BEFORE the quake.For more info on this:
