San Juan de los Lagos


Text for the photo below - a little late.
San Juan is Jose's hometown and down below you see him with his mother.
The cathedral in town is famous for a statue of Mary and has become a place of pilgrimage. We were there for the feast of the Assumption, which is held in the plaza in front of the cathedral. I concelebrated the mass and got well sunburnt. I did think I should wear a hat and forgot the sunscreen. About ten thousand people turned up. The next day we had a barbecue, where some of Jose's friends with families turned up. Even the kids speak Spanish!
