The Fiambreras Man in Yauco - 1941 (18 KB) żAre they full or empty? Many Jibaros use them even today. Hey, I still have mine. Funeral procession in a mountain town - 1942. (35 KB) Notice: NO LADIES. Back then, only the wealthy had their last ride on a hearse. The jibaros were carried by their "paisanos" by hand ...all the way to the "camposanto." Funeral procession of a CHILD in a similar town - (30 KB) 1941. Notice: NO MEN. All the way to the "camposanto" the ladies carried the little corpse. żDo you know what a "WAKE" for a child is still called in Puerto Rico? ANSWER to above question: Baquiné (ba-key-neh) Un Colmaito en Isla Adentro (1901) (33 KB) Many of these were the only way to get groceries in many towns. —“Dońa Monse... Deme dos de pan y uno 'e mantequilla.”— A drugstore in San Juan in 1895 (40 KB) The same type of bottles on the shelves were used for many products. A Bohio in 1898 in the Manati-Arecibo area (30 KB) Before the USA occupation in 1898, many lived like this in the countryside. Many lived like that as well AFTER the invasion. Downtown Barranquitas in 1942 (33 KB) Notice the boy coming from (or going to) school and the local "paisanos" hanging out on the right side. A Jíbaro's "Fiambrera" Lunch at the Sugar Cane Fie (44 KB) The three porcelain bowls (with arroz, habichuelas y verduras) would stack inside the metal frame (by his right leg). Notice his "chambones," typical jibaro shoes. Carretero - 1903 (42 KB) "Y por la sierra los carreteros se oyen cantando, cantando, cantando así.. Ay, le lo lai, lo lai le lo lá... Ay le lo lai, lo lai le lo lá..." Another Carretero - 1903 (42 KB) In the days before the ubiquitous pick-up truck, this was the common way of cargo.
