So I have been scanning old photos again. I have a photo scanner that makes the front end go lots faster than trying to do with a flat bed scanner.
When I was a sophomore in high school in Albuquerque I went on a two week trip to Mexico City. It was a big adventure. Several busloads of my fellow students rode busses to El Paso where we switched over to Mexican busses and then rode pretty much non-stop all the way to Mexico City.
That was back before the drug dealers ran things and we went all over town, riding the subways and busses and didn’t give a thought in the world to our safety. Being a parent now though I realize why the teachers and chaperones were in a bad mood the whole time.
Got to see a lot!!
And I found this photo of my mother from the late 70’s. She was a lot younger then than what I am now!! She’s been gone a number of years. I miss her every day.
I hadn’t gone through this particular album in probably over a decade. I scanned the photos I wanted and threw the rest away including the album. Part of our continuing decluttering process. I got them all tagged up on the cloud if I ever need them. I love looking at old photos.
Enjoyed your old photos, especially the one of your Mom. That school trip must have been quite an adventure!
Your mom has a kind smile,
Coffee is on and stay safe
I really need to embark on a scanning/organizing project. I do have most all my digital images saved to portable hard drives, but I have done nothing about the family photos that are prints only. That might be an upcoming project as I am going to be “missing in action” in a couple of weeks.
Looks like you had a great time on the trip!
I love the photo of your mom, she looks a very happy person! It’s terrible when you lose a parent. I miss my mom and dad every day 🙁
I’ve been doing this project on and off–it’s a big job but it’s fun to go down memory lane. Your trip to Mexico City looked like a great adventure and your Mom looked very happy in this photo.
It’s quite an undertaking, but I too love old photos and the memories evoked. Yet it felt liberating for me when I could throw away the bulky albums.
I try to scan old pics when I am in the US for the summer. At this point I am way behind. I went on a bus trip down to Mexico when I was in high school too! Sadly I think I have lost the photos I took. Too bad because it was such a memorable trip. That’s a sweet photo of your mom.
