Saved from the Shredder- New Pig Picture

Recently found this old slide that John took on a graduate studies trip in 1970/71 to Baja---doesn't remenber where it was taken---one of the old mission ruins they visited.



Just found a few more slides from that trip while visiting my mother-in-law---John thought his ex-wife had all of them. Can't wait to scan them.

Also saved some slides from the shredder---89 year old mother-in-law is sorting and was sure no one would be interested in their 1966 trip to San Quintin and to the mainland of Mexico, and their trip in their camper to Cabo the first year the road was paved----glad we got there in time!

Oh Diane, your visit was fortuitously timed. I'll be looking forward to seeing some of those old photos. Get your scanner warmed up.

Awhile back I learned how to do all that, Paulina.... and then I seem to have just forgotten it all. Computer challenged, memory challenged... life is heck.

Any suggestions on how to get some old pictures back from an ex-wife? John said he left them because many of them had her in them---but one could always use photo-shop.

Mexico City 1966- Teotihuacan John took classes in Guadalaja the summer of 1966--Guadalaja was a city of 500,000 at the time, and Teotihuacan as quite a ways outside of Mexico City



No Wal-Mart then!

Ok, with all of your help I think I'm getting this. Here is an attempt to scan with Microsoft photo editor - then into photobucket. This is as big as I can get the pictures to come out, so far.

Thanks Diane for the subject idea. I knew I had a pig photo somewhere that needed scanning.

This is my last scanned photo, as I don't want to hijack this thread anymore than I already have. I think this pig had an idea of his destiny and was attempting his great escape while in the back of a truck traveling a bit south of La Paz in 2003. He was persistant, but I have a feeling he didn't make it.

That piture of the slaughtered pig

1970 Grad Class Trip

Slides not in greatest of shape.

Dinner being prepared at one of the Ranchos where they camped.


El Rosario---stayed at Mama's place, the old place.



A school he thinks was up a canyon before Santo Tomas



Now, if we could just get the ex-wife to give up the photos she has----not a chance.

Now to scan some of the saved Mother-in-law pics

Here is a 1955 photo at San Vicente mission from the valley looking up:



and another Howard Gulick photo at the mission:



Do you think it could be the same???

Here's a 1961 photo of the Santo Tomas mission... in the distance...




Here is Santo Tomas in a 1975 photo by 'Academicanachist' (Dr Jackson):





The same place last year...

Is this thread going to the pigs or what?

You guys are going to be sorry that I got the scanner thing figured out!

Here is my very first pig encounter. You could probably guess that the year was 1980 by my sunglasses and Dolphin shorts. This was taken in San Felipe as I was walking to Club Bar Miramar. The pig head gave me a start, and my friend just happened to have his camera ready for the shot. I think he knew it was there and I was set up.

It is kind of a happy looking pig head...

OK, lets keep it gone to the pigs

Love that Pig's head and the outfit!

One being delivered to the meat market---ok, not Baja, but Santa Barbara del Cobre on the mainland



And these cute piggys were in the market in Patzcuarro, Mexico



Our lawn mowers in Honduras---these guys ran loose in the streets along with some cows, thus we and the dog took worm medicine every three months.



Got to find the ones from Equador where they had a roasted pig on every corner---same pig was there for days

I had to post that information about the pigs of the Chihuahua mountains. I am sure things are a bit more sanitary today.

that piggie wanting to get out of the truck is so sad..............

Couldn't let the tread end on a sad note.

Happy*, free-range playa piggies at 9 palms:

(*Happy to share watermelon and dig for crabs at least)






(this was a pig thread, wasn't it ?)
