The ticket sales on the baskets helped, but like Hans Brinker’s dam, more needs to be done. On January 30th you will have a chance to see the breathtaking, up in the clouds, hillside home of Chris and Eileen Bednarz. This fairy-tale dwelling is constructed with materials that are available here. Not only will you see how products are used, but where in Mexico they can be obtained. The quality, uniqueness and workmanship will surprise you. It is all state of the art. Tickets are 100 pesos.
