What a pleasure to see these old photos and talk about them with friends. We do have all but one in the photo archive in San Ignacio now, but I
haven't seen the article itself. In the first photo of the family, three children are peeking from behind the adults. I think those shelters may
have been in 'Las Islas,' an elevated area in the midst of Arroyo San Ignacio, which does not flood often. The picture we didn't have is a man
collecting salt. Jacobo Rousseau tells of a man called Angel Villegas, who collected salt at the site called San Angel, way down arroyo near the road
to Punta Abreojos. In a time without refrigeration or ice lots of salt was used to preserve meat, fish and cheese in the storerooms.
