La Venta Park

La Venta park is a mix between a Mexican zoo and a sculpture park for the limestone art of the Olmecas. We saw everything from jaguars to the wild marsupials who were roaming on the fencetops and along the path. Sharp teeth, sharp claws. A mix between a badger and a Tasmanian devil. And the guys wanted to get close and take pictures. Brilliant. Boys will be boys, I guess.

The Olmec statues were 1500-2000 years old and they included figures, ground patterns of stones, and other carved blocks similar to the decorations found in temples.

This was my first attempt to do any filming, and it was a pretty easy start. It was only a one-mile walk, nice weather, and lots of places to stop and take pictures. I hope the rest of the filming will go so well.
