The Pennings and Paintings of Marilyn Zapata: PENNINGS: Around the World in Forty Years: Volume III: Fantastic Fifteen Years

As I approach my 70th year of life, I find myself musing on the artistic footprint I will leave behind on this earth. In an effort to compress my lifetime production of trivial ephemera, I decided on this blog. My endeavors are categorized into four sections: Pennings (4 volumes entitled “Around the World in 40 Years”), Paintings (silks, pastels, watercolors and acrylics), Portraits (of family and friends), and Pastimes (massive amounts of et cetera). Explore this blog at your own risk!

PENNINGS: Around the World in Forty Years: Volume III: Fantastic Fifteen Years

These books, Volumes I, II, III and IV of “Around the World in Forty Years,” are a chronicle of 40 years (1970-2010) of traveling to 53 countries and making 40 trips to Mexico. They are filled with the history, personal experiences and tidbits of each country, including more than 250 color photos, followed by easy-to-prepare recipes for a five-course meal inspired by the region (be sure to read the titles of the dishes as they correspond with the countries).

In Volume III, “Fantastic Fifteen Years,” from 1991 through and including 2005, we traveled extensively. We visited: Venezuela, Panama, Holland, Israel, Jordan, Guatemala, Spain, Costa Rica, Turkey, Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil, and the Mexican States of Aguascalientes, Coahuila, Chihuahua, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Jalisco, Mexico, Michoacán, Morelos, Nuevo Leon, Oaxaca, Puebla, Queretaro, Tamaulipas and Zacatecas.
