Our first trip to Mexico

Roberta Archer

The day of departure was finally here. We had travelled from Santa Ana, California, to the Texas border.

It was 1938 and my Aunt Betty, one of her teenage daughters, my brother Glen, my two younger sisters, Sharon and Edith, and I, ranging in age from four to eight, all travelled from the border to Mexico City by bus.
