A while back you posted these pictures without saying much but I read that you had a lot invested in your friendship with this man..........I am sure that he repaided you many times over. It is terribly hard to let go of a man such as this.....I know.

May he rest in peace.

Bernie, what a great thing to say!

Pompano, I'm sure that you have more interesting stories about Rudolfo. Your photos and captions say a lot though. If you have any more stories about this man it would be great to hear one or two. My wife and I ALWAYS saw him each and every time we visited Mulege, usually near El Candil (when we would be enjoying a couple of margies) where he would walk by hanging on to the window frames, counting each one as he walked by. Sometimes people would chat with him a bit before he continued on.

Via con Dios


Nomads,
I was in Mulege in January '95 and stayed at the Casa de Hespuedes while on a motorcycle journey for a month throughout the Baja.

One evening I attended a Pig Roast dinner at the Hacienda when the restaurant was managed by a French Canadian from British Columbia.

While many of the folks attending seemed to be a group of American cave painting aficionados, the highlight of the evening was an elderly blind gentleman who played guitar and sang....both with evidence of his years but with a spirit that brings a tear to my eye.

I videotaped his performance at our tableside and have it somewhere...

Over the years and my returns to Mulege, I recognized El Cantor as who has been identified as Rudolpho....

He has a place in my heart as well as with those who have enjoyed him personally and those who have from a distance.

With respect, admiration, and condolences to those close to him,

Ged
