That photo of lil' Diego was taken at the OTHER (than the one that had the Tiki exhibit) Forest Lawn Cemetery in my neighborhood, in Burbank, across from Warner Brothers Studio. The have a great pre-Columbian sculpture garden, with all kinds of reproductions of ancient idols: http://www.forestlawn.com/Special-Events-And-Facilities/Plaza-Of-Mesoamerican-Heritage.asp Funny thing is I was working on posting that photo even before you added your post talking about the color blue --and here was D-man, wearing blue! Synchronicity, man! My son Diego Walker Kirsten is named after the three sources of his heritage: Californian/American/German Me and my wife then could not find neither an English nor a German name we liked, and since he was the first in our family to be born in California, we chose this classic Spanish-Californian name, which reminded me of two of my heroes: Diego Rivera (contemporary and friend of Miguel Covarrubias) and ...."Don Diego de la Vega": Zorro's Alter Ego. Maybe he will become a man equally proficient with his paint brush as with his sword! :)
