Judy, I'm glad you enjoyed the post. My mother went on to teach acting to children in the communities we moved to, and my father had well-known artists among his artist friends in Woodstock NY.

So, is that uncle Phil in the photograph? I have a framed sketch of that pyramid that your dad made, but it's not in great shape anymore.

Yes, Jim, that's our Uncle Phil in the photo. That's really nice about the sketch you have, an eye-witness, historical report of the place and the time. Good to hear from you!

Love this. My parents were near there (Tiajuana, Tucson)during WWII. I have a similar wood scrapbook too. The string was a leather tie. Those memories are of a bye-gone era! And familiar to me from my parents’ adventures. Thanks for sharing

Mary, I've meant to tell you how interesting this is, that you confirm my idea that our parents were often part of a trend - I found that after WW I Mexico had started a tourism program to attract Americans.
