January’s journey to Spain held many jewels. Visiting the UBE conference and present. Seeing David Benevente’s bonsai backyard. Assembly Bjorn Bjorholm, in any case this time for the first time (and a very good lunch, that). Visiting (and one other lunch) with long-time collaborator Oscar Jonker.
And to wrap up the journey, a go to with Mario Komsta (and a 3rd lunch!) with him and the remainder of the staff that maintains the magnificent assortment of Luis Vallejo, who sadly wasn’t there that day. However Mario I hadn’t seen since we have been apprentices in Japan, and visiting with him was a pure delight. I’ll share extra about Mario another time—this publish is in regards to the Luis Vallejo Bonsai Museum.
