After the swine flu epidemic/pandemic is over, people mill about on the Zocalo plaza and in front of the Mexico City Cathedral. Construction of the cathedral began in the late 1500s, and is the oldest and largest in Latin America. Pumping water from the aquifer below is causing the Zocalo and cathedral, and the entire city, to sink.

Fidel Castro asked Castillo cousins living in Havana some time before he died in 2016, “How is the Castillo family, and do any of them still live in Santo Domingo?” Can a photograph I took answer the revolutionary victor’s question? Yes, it can! Juan Castillo (in hat) and his wife Maria (center) with some members of three generations of the Castillo family who live in Santo Domingo today!

Juan, his son Miguel, and grandson Miguel at Lucas’s historical house, now a museum. While living in this house, Juan watched as Che Guevara test-fired his Molotov cocktail from the left side of this yard. Fidel Castro slept in the bedroom at the far right.
