San Felipe was a bit less "developed" in 1951.
[Our red truck and the Neals' woodie make it easy to locate their campsite.]

[In this photo it's the woodie you see.]

And this was the meat market, flies and all.

I was 4½ that Christmas and so I have some vague memories of this trip.
*A paved road to San Felipe had just been completed which is undoubtedly why we went there this year. I think Mother and Dad may have visited that part of Baja California before World War II but this marked the last time we went to Mexico.

Wow! You were in san felipe 15 years before I was, and even at that late date it seemed very primitive. Did either of your parents speak spanish? As usual, very jealous.
