This mug is a bright yellow, encouraging me to get moving. The geometric design along with the turquoise, orange, and pink are reminiscent of Meso-American culture and art. I thought it would be fitting to sit on the small, yellowish brick wall that terraces my backyard and enjoy this cup. Black again today because I don't think native people would have been mixing milk in. Come to think of it, Native American peoples would have been drinking hot chocolate, not coffee. I'm sure their "hot chocolate" would be and taste far different than conventional modern hot chocolate. Here in New Mexico, there is plenty of Native art and lots of ancient dwellings. It makes you think that maybe hundred of years ago someone sat on their terraced wall having a warm cup and pondering the sun rise and where their mug came from (they probably knew who made it). 

I think the most fascinating thing about this mug is that it was made in Spain. Especially when you consider the relationship Spain had with Meso-America, for them to hundreds of years later being producing mugs in this style...
