INTERVIEW: Francisco Solaria Page 7 FS: windoHs, where the Caretas used to go inside, you know, with the ox? You can ride the---as high as that---and it had a table, I might say the back porch had a table that had the legs made out of ah, I can't remember the name of that wood . VM: Pinon? FS: It's real hard wood. And it had legs like that, and that tree was cut in half. Just in half, and the leg was made as a table, you know. From here, oh, I might say, about twenty-four feet long. The table was that big. They claimed this here home, when grandfather bought it, it belonged to one of the bandits that used to be there years back. And the walls, you know, used to go inside like a hall, and each side of the hall had rooms, bedrooms, and then we had this Patchulet table was. And then the grain is on this side. And on this side where the corn and wheat used to go, then the wall that divided the trails. Trail had a big wall, too, where they had some Ahuacate trees and Mesquites, I don't know if any---well, Muchos, I don't think you've ever know what that is. And that's where the cows and the horse and the pigs were, but they all came through the same door.
