Hidalgo’s Church

This is the Church from which (the soon to be excommunicated) Father Miguel Hidalgo issued his “Grito de Dolores”, the cry for Independence from the hated Spaniards.

    I like your blog posts very much, admire your spirit of adventure and cultural respectfulness, and think your photos are very nice.

    Your mention of cowboy country and Roy Rogers reminded me of a song that he did and that Kathy Mattea covered that I have always loved, so I'm sending it along to you and your wife:

    Here's Hopin'

    By the way you watch the sunset I can tell
    Soon you'll saddle up that ole strawberry roan
    Bid goodbye to the goodnight loving train
    And set off to blaze a new train of your own
    And I know you'll travel light like you always do
    But you'll always take a part of me with you

    Here's hopin' there's an open road before you
    Here's hopin' that your aim is always true
    And when you're trying to outrun that setting sun
    Here's hopin' that you do

    I know you'll try to hold to higher ground
    And stay one day ahead of the storm
    But when a northern blows and the rain keeps pouring down
    May you find a place to keep you safe and warm
    They say every cowboy finds a home somewhere
    But friend until your travels take you there

    Here's hopin' there's an open road before you
    Here's hopin' that your aim is always true
    And when you're trying to outrun that setting sun
    Here's hopin' that you do

    If the trail looks bad and you need to double back
    Here's hopin' that you do

    I forgot to check the lyrics. Of course, it's Goodnight Loving Trail and a new trail, not, duh..., train!
