Mexico Monday redux, Week 27
This week’s images include pictures from 1973 and 1974 — inside a prison, building an orphanage in Tepic, and my Dad visiting with a family at their home.

Here are a few more images from the summer of 1972.
Mexico Monday redux, Week 25
This week, I have a collection of images from the summer of 1972. One or two of the places look familiar to me, but I’m not sure of the locations; and sadly, I can’t identify any of the people (although maybe someone in my family will remember). I do recall the yellow Camaro and the red Volkswagen “squareback” as part […]
Mexico Monday redux, Part 24
This week, a few slides that my Dad had arranged in sequence in the carousel showing some buildings and monuments. I’ve tried and failed to locate some of these structures, like the domed building above and the Catholic church below, but all these photos were shot around 1970 and 1971. Below is a familiar Mexico City landmark, El Ángel de […]

A trip to the Mercado Libertad-San Juan de Dios was always one of my favorite parts of visiting Guadalajara. These slides are unlabeled but most date from 1972, with a couple from 1974.

Mexico Monday Redux, Week 19
This week, I’m focusing on our visits to Guadalajara during 1968 through 1970. I’ve shown you one or two of these pictures before, when I wrote about the “lemon factory“, and I’m sure we visited this church more than once. I can’t for the life of me remember what part of the city this was in, but I have clear […]
Mexico Monday Redux, Week 18
It’s been quite awhile since I blogged Mexico Monday, but now I’m finally able to start scanning the final batch of slides. I’ve been wanting to re-scan these for such a long time! I’m also trying to present them in chronological order as best I can; in doing so I may repeat some images that I’ve previously published. Hopefully it […]
