Bob Howell's stories 2001-2007

Bob & Vicky Valentine's Day 2005

Bob Howell, a retired US Marine, and Vicky Flores, a nurse  for the Mexican medical system, endeared themselves to our community through their long-running charitable works and Bob's narratives of their adventures.  Their friends and fans are legion.

Bob tried very hard to make his stories and photos available online through years of web hosting changes,  computer meltdowns and other impediments.  Here, we'll try to collect and post them all.

The words are all Bob's as are nearly all of the photos (a few were taken by unknown others on these trips.  If you see Bob in a photo, he probably didn't take it.)

Spelling corrections have been made only to place names as needed.  And one other correction: Bob often referred to the 'jungle' or the 'rainforest', but we have neither in this Tropical Dry Forest where there's no rain for eight months of the year.

We have nearly seventy of Bob's reports and photo collections which will be posted as time permits.  If you have saved any of his stories and/or the accompanying photos and are willing to share them, or can give more accurate dates for the stories and photos posted, please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
