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.

Paulina,
John thinks that is where it was. He also has a picture of a little school house in that area.
You will like his favorite picture when I get it scanned---a large pig being slaughted on a rancho where they stayed.

I can't wait! I love old photos. I have a bunch too, but darned if I can't get them from scanner to computer to some kind of a readable
program....it's tough to be computer challenged.

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.

Tell us what operating system you have, what photo program you have and what scanner brand and model you have. Maybe I or some other Nomad can help
you.

Most scanners generate TIF files. But the internet displays JPG files mostly. You need software to convert from one to another.
Is that the problem?

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.

Diane,
I love the photo. I'm so glad it was saved, and I'd love to see others with a "When and where" caption.
Gracias!

I don't see how posting interesting photos of Mexico can be considered hijacking this thread. I really enjoy them.

That piture of the slaughtered pig
is taken on the patio of cielito lindo.. Must have been one of their pig roasts. Might ask Juanita when that was taken, she will probably remember the
people,k

Paulina,
No---certainly is not a hijack---now I get have to get some of those slides scanned later. Great Pictures.
Yes, we believe that pig in the truck knew its fate. In Honduras we used to watch them drag them into the truck screaming and yelling, and then
scream louder as they drug them into the market place----made me think about eating bacon.

Thanks Diane...
The first photo had me thinking of Mision San Vicente because of the slope down from the adobe... I will pull up the pics of San Vicente and Santo
Tomas after work today and see...
A look back into the past... keep posting!

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
Diane

I believe that Teotihuacan was thought to have had about 500,000 residents. It also has changed since 1966. Many more excavations and temples
visible.
