I really enjoyed reading your post about our quiet little town. It made me miss home a bit. <br /><br />You were right not to use the bathroom at the bar...it is a frightening experience. The church, however, is beautiful. It's the church I attended as a child. Though they no longer have regular services, it is now a Catholic "shrine" and occasional masses are held there.<br /><br />I hope you'll come back and visit Loma, Betty and her bar, and our quiet scenic trail.jeksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03706538364003534497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593970477444543007.post-71231575063888068352011-12-07T13:00:32.605-06:002011-12-07T13:00:32.605-06:00Unknown stranger: Very cool!
