Dear RLWemm,
I am almost positive that your shot titled "a house in Station St." is the casa owned by my "Mama Mexicana & Mi Hermano Mexicano". I lived here with a couple of public health students from Michigan and it was the best time in my life!!!
Please write to me at my (above) same user name @ aol, and tell me of your experiences in this lovely Mexican Paradise.
Hasta Luego!

The Australian government donated a bunch of Eucalyptus trees to the Mexican government to help with some perceived problem in the area. Unfortunately they use up a lot of water and are not appreciated by the locals. They have their uses, however. This one, planted at the end of the aptly named Eucalpt stree, is being used as an electricity relay station. This area of Mexico is full of unsightly electrical wiring, much of it not situated at all safely. The killing parts of this construction are all within arms reach. Shudder!
The sign says: Dangerous Curve. Even for a kid's tricycle that is a bit of a stretch. All part of the fun. Just behind this photograph is a sign saying "Roundabout": the path goes around a group of palms.
These plant curtains shade the rooms in the Hotel Tortuga. The humid weather makes plants grow fast. Tortuga is Spanish for turtle, and you will find a selection of these in the ponds at the back of the atrium and a collection of turtle shaped art in front of this.
This is the poor end of town. Right at the end of this street, beyond your view, is a local slum where people subsist under pieces of iron in an old defunct railway reserve. Just to the south of this photo are huge walled houses of the rich. The contrasts are stark.

The sign reads: No Standing! None of the kids are taking it seriously, of course.
Yield to those passing - on slow trikes!
This mural tells the history of the area in pictures.
Note the brewing storm in the background. And the ubiquitous and ugly electrical wiring.
Note the decorative iron grills on the windows. These are common in the area.
