A Trip to Mexico of an American Family in 1958 Through Amazing Pics

This post was originally published on this site
A set of amazing pics from Leon Reed was captured by his father Walter Reed that shows the 1958 trip to Mexico of his family by their trailer.

“Photos of the 1958 trip to Mexico. We drove in via Nuevo Laredo, drove down to (and beyond) Mexico City (including Taxco, Cuernevaca, Teotihuacan, Morelia, etc.), and returned back via Nuevo Laredo. We were in Mexico for nearly a month. 

We traveled everywhere you could go by trailer in the years between 1950-1964, and Mexico was by far the most spectacular trip in every sense of the word: most fabulous sights (both natural wonders and manmade/historic stuff), most “different” place, etc. 

 My only regret is that we didn’t get far enough south or east to see any Maya sites — a shortcoming I need to fix in the next couple years.”
