Also, yes they sure do still get pearls from the river and other streams around San Angelo. There's a jeweler there who advertises on the net. I want to go back and get myself a pearl pendant.<br /><br />We always try to take photos because they might come in handy for settings.

I liked the rather interesting outhouse room--a very inventive way to collect the "refuse". I just wouldn't have wanted to be assigned to latrine duty. Gross.<br />Isn't it funny how the ugliest shells have the most wondrous treasures inside? Do they still get pearls from the Concho River?<br />That's so great that you took all those pictures yourself.I should be more mindful of taking pictures, too. <br />I have your Devlin books and, when I can get a bit of time to myself, I'm going to dig into them. <br />I really enjoyed reading your informative and interesting blog.<br /> Sarah J.
