Airstream Community

I found in a Miami thrift store approximately 12 metal boxes containing a well organized collection of personal slides documenting a Dr. Eugene Birchwood's lifelong involvement with the Airstream trailer community. Only a single slide had his name written on it and from this I was able to research a small part of his life. He was a doctor based in Chicago. He was employed briefly by Airstream Trailer and document several international tours or roundups in the mid 1950s. Many slides were taken in Mexico and Europe. View full size.

El Castillo

This is El Castillo, Chichen Itza, Yucatan, of course.

I recall my first visit to Chichen. My dad drove the family there on an excursion from the city of Merida. Before heading out, he'd been assured he could find a refill of gasoline in Piste, the town nearest the ruins. We drove the length of Piste's only road twice with no sign of a gas station. My dad asked, and he was directed to the village hardware store, where a man sold gasoline out of milk cans, poured into the cars with a hose and funnel.

This was in 1972.

By the end of the decade, the resort of Cancun had opened up, and tourism in Yucatan changed dramatically.

What is the model & make of the wagon -- it looks like an English Ford Zephyr.
