Jalpan - A visit to the oldest mission in the area

The Mision Jalpan

The guitar man played and sang as we enjoyed our lunch. He had a pleasant voice.

The five missions: We read that a 60 year old priest blessed these five missions. He walked from California to this mountainous area for the blessing. A journey of over two thousand miles. Then, he walked back.

Okay, I dropped out for a couple of weeks. We have covered so many miles and visited so many places, it was hard to set up shop. Enough excuses. We survived the mountain drive to Jalpan.

Homer, Nancy, Cindy and I decided the first stop in Jalpan was a nice restaurant. We found one in the square overlooking the mission. As we enjoyed a traditional Mexican meal, an older gentleman was playing a guitar and singing classic Mexican songs. Very Nice!
