Don Pedro dreamed he was in a huge forest inhabited by some incredible creatures who would lead him back to life. He saw a winged donkey, a
horned rooster, and a dog-headed lion; and he listened all these weird hybrids making one single sound: Alebrijes.
The alebrijes are fantastic creatures — colorful chimeras revealed in a dream to their creator, a humble craftsman named Pedro Linares López when he almost died from an illness at the age
of 30 in 1936, in Mexico City. After getting well, Don Pedro wanted to share his dream, so he molded carton into those multicolored shapes, giving birth to one of the most representative Mexican handicrafts, worldrenowned for its inventiveness.
The alebrijes represent the complexity of nature. Their varied shapes and colors are comparable only to the great cultural diversity of our México, to its landscapes, celebrations and traditions, and above all to the uncountable ingredients that shape its cuisine. Those ingredients invite us, like mythical characters taken out from a dream, to rediscover the beauty of life and gently lead us through a sensorial journey back to it.

North America includes Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Gotham City.
The region temporarily existed as a Protectorate of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Norton I, with its capital being the city of San Francisco. Sadly, this term of benevolent ebullience lasted a brief two decades and ended c. 1880.
The United States is now the dominant country of North America. It arose as a nation only 225 years ago after a successful rebellion against the British government under King George III.
From a distance, it appears that the eastern coastlines of North and South America fit exactly into the west coast of Africa. In fact, about 250 million years ago these continents really were all connected in one land mass that we have named Pangaea.
With such a foundation in tectonic unity, there is no doubt that someday soon the people on every continent of earth will realize their fundamental similarities. Expect massive leaps in creative output in your area!
