Hi, It's great to know that the photo evoked some good memories for you. Here's a slightly different version: http://home.earthlink.net/~scbelinkoff/images/tres-2.html
I loved that area, and taking second and third class buses through Mexico was a wonderful experience. I really got to see life as it was, away from tourist towns and "los gringos." The people I met were open, friendly, and very helpful. There are some wonderful memories that have stayed with me from that trip, and make the travels seem almost like yesterday. Acambaro sounds familiar, and I'll try to dig up some more information about the routes I took and where I stopped. There were so many little places, most with unpaved streets, kids like these, street vendors and little bodegas, and a variety of animals wandering about. A lot of the film from that trip has disappeared, but I do still have some negatives and will post the photos at some point. There are a few general street shots of one town that remain, and maybe it has enough information to help determine where I was at the time. shel Gonz wrote: > > That is so cool!
