I'll see your Virgin



and raise you a photo of Todos Santos 1982



I haven't been back since and have always wondered how the scenery has changed. It can't be hard to spot this place with the big rock out at the end.

Pompano,

Does Roamin play the next "Before" photo, or is it open?

Wow, nice series DK--too bad they weren't from the same angle--I'd be interested in the height of the Boojums in the background...Humphrey was guessing their lifespans to be 200-300 years but I've read some guessing longer.

Ok, I'll go again. Here's a photo of the Ensenada shoreline and the Riviera del Pacifico Civic and Cultural Center, circa 1950. This should be an easy hand to play.

Bob,

You posted a photo of San Roque grave yard as the "new deck". Someone now has to post a more recent photo of the same place. That is unless your photo is fairly new, then that might make it difficult.
A question for Pompano, how long between plays do we go, should no one be able to come up with a match?

San Roque graveyard from a distance. It's next to that tree that's next to the white building.

Hey, this is a fun crowd to hang with. It's not very often anymore that I can claim I'm too young to have any really old photos.


Here's Punta Conejo in 1990 and we haven't made it back there since. What's it look like today?

So no one has an updated photo of Punta Conejo for Oladulce's hand? That could be a good thing, it might still be how you remember it.
