This is in my top 10 favorite photos so far. This church/mission in San Ignacio is really the highlight of the tiny town. The majority of the population in Mexico is Roman Catholic and we got to see some of this church which is one of the oldest in the country having been established in 1728 and still functioning as a church today. We got to watch the bell ringer do the call to evening mass with massive ropes and some elbow grease to ring the huge bell in the tower.
The town is only a few hundred people but they are also known for the figs they grow, the lagoon with the perfect swimming hole rope [i declined] and the smallest bar I’ve ever patronized. With a very friendly welcome crew. We had shrimp pasta pesto for dinner and an astronomy lesson, which were only made better by the homemade margaritas and breeze.
Barbie,
Love the pics!! They are awesome! Yes….., there is internet access in Bahrain! I am having a great time! Heading home tomorrow. It was nice, but if I eat anymore dates and hummus, I might pass out! So needless to say, I am ready to head to the ponderosa!!!
Hope that you are well and I am thinking of you and sending positive vibes your way!

I didn’t realize the stray dogs were a thing in Mexico. We saw them everywhere we went in the Yucatan.
