[Group on Saltillo Trip]

Group photograph of ten people taken during a trip to Saltillo, Mexico. Leftmost is a man wearing black dress pants, a white dress shirt, and tie. Next to him is a woman wearing a patterned dress and red jacket followed by a man in a gray suit and a woman wearing a black dress with a belt and brooch. Jorge Sedeño, next, wears a dark suit and patterned tie. Next to Sedeno is Sylvia Orozco, who wears a red dress and holds a poster that, though whitewashed by the flash, appears to be a drawing of a building. To the right of Sedeno is a woman wearing a purple and black patterned dress, a woman wearing an yellow and red-orange dress, a man wearing a navy blue suit and tie, and a man wearing a black suit and red tie. The group stands on a cobbled floor in front of a grouping of tall plants. Two walls are gray stone, while the last visible wall is white with orange stone columns.
