david
I was going to stay out of this.
but why do you always try to correct people, with petty bull s**t.. you just cant leave it alone. who cares about what her age is,, she is a legend
I would think Elvis8 has more of a insite about this,, leave it alone.
go play with your GPS

We were honored to have met her on our last trip, and she shared with us so many fascinating details of her life and the history of her family in El Rosario....it was a true pleasure.



When Lionel attempted to speak to her in Spanish, he caught himself and said to her, "oh, that's right, you speak English." She laughed and said, "I have lived here all my life and I speak perfect English....what's your excuse?" :)



As far as her age goes, she told us she would be celebrating her birthday in October, and that we could come and celebrate with her and her family and friends. She said she would be "100 and something." I wish we had been able to attend.



She also said that all she needed was "the sun and her rice and beans." So, that's the secret to a long and lovely life.



Happy Birthday, Mama! Thank you for sharing your stories with us :)

Yes, she was a highlight of our 2009 summer trip... when we were taken back to her living room and had a private meeting.

I love the answer she gave you... as it basically says we are all correct, she is 100 and something! Wonderful and colorful bit of Baja history, right there in the great little town of El Rosario.
