Humans of La Manzanilla - Leticia and Raymundo

Leticia and Raymundo own the Taqueria 'La Chona' on the jardin next to Cafe Risa. We always enjoy the large perfect tortillas Leticia makes from fresh corn masa for the quesadillas they serve. It's fun to watch her form the little balls of masa and press them out with her antique-looking wooden tortilla press. Raymundo's father came to La Manzanilla from D.F. first; and Raymundo followed, arriving a little over 30 years ago when he was 18. The family raised pigs and opened a butcher shop and store. We remember the days of a freshly slaughtered pig hanging from a hook, bleeding out on the street side in front of the store. Raymundo married Leticia 18 years ago, and they have three children. Karla makes amazing pies and cakes which are still for sale in Juan's old store on the main street. Their other daughter Mariela, who just had her quinceañera last year, is now days away from giving birth to a baby boy. Their son also works at the Taqueria. Drop by and say hola, and try our favorite, quesadilla con chorizo! By the way, 'La Chona' is Mariela's nickname, coming from a line in a popular song.

This is great, David, I so enjoyed that quesadilla con chirizo with you, Debbie and Laurel the other night. Do you keep all your La Manz Humans shots in one file? Could you somehow share it as a file, and could someone figure out how 'we' - anyone who is interested, could make up a kind of directory, so we could review names and relationships whenever we have a few minutes of computer time? During the Art Walk prep, some of us were talking about how good it would be to have a directory of La Manz, of anyone who wants to be represented - locals, expat residents, long and short term regular visitors, business people who serve the La Manz community. There could be photos, also, to help those of us with short term memories. Who is out there that would like to take on a project like this? With the internet, it would be so flexible and easy to modify.

Thanks, Daniel, it is great to have these all grouped together like this. Some of the kids have already changed a lot! I do realize it's time consuming, but this is a great start, and the great thing about the internet is it can be added to poco a poco, verdad?
