In search of the origin of Punta del Burro

History Channel

I enjoyed the fish picture and Paco's hypothesis. Now to further complicate the issue:

Trish Shelton showed me two large shells which she says are the male and female of the Burro shell. The male looks just like what we usually call a Conch, while the female is thicker, rounder and white. She says Ricardo Applegate and his kids gathered on their new property and he named it for the shell, the female, rounded like a burro, like a burrito...Luz was there, Aurea is now deceased, Craig's wife would have been too young, but perhaps she has heard the story, Chef Roger's wife may be able to add mo

To Joe and Willy

First I want to say a huge hurrah for the creation of this website. I appreciate its technical sophistication and know that we will come to use it more and more as it becomes more familiar.
Second I want to thank Willy Smith for his objective summary of what he sees as our situation. Thank you, Willy, for being willing to venture your opinion! And how gratifying to learn that we are not in as dire a situation as we feared. Yes, it's broke, but we can fix it! What we have is a community of people with a will to cooperate and that is gold! We don't need the super militancy of the security system recently employed by Aldrete's El Farallon next to us.
