Yesterday we took a ride from Melaque to La Huerta. It is a crooked mountain road with beautiful views. It is a good road but crooked. The trip is about 25 miles.

This is a view of La Huerta as you are coming out of the mountains from the south. It's a beautiful valley, lots of agriculture. The town is the Capitol of the Municipal of La Huerta.  (county seat)

The road from Melaque to Guadalajara thru La Huerta and Autlan is about 35 Mi. shorter than the toll road but takes 1 to 2 hours longer. The crooked ass road is like a dog chasing his tail.

This is the main church in La Huerta. There is an old church along side of this one.

This bell appears to be from the old falling down church.

The old church, as you can see one bell is still there, the one on the other side is missing.

Inside of the new church, nothing too fancy but nice.

Belinda standing in the town square. It was very nice and clean and colorful. You can see this town is proud of their community.

A statue of Fr. Hidalgo in the square.

This is a view of the square from the other side, we are in a restaurant having lunch when this picture was taken.

We sure do love Mexican food..

One of several spots where the road was damaged because of the rain from hurricane Jova.

We stopped at Bigotes in Melaque for happy hour on our way home, this is a rubber raft pulled by a motorboat. It is a popular tourist thing.

This boat just happened by, lots of these in the harbor in Barra De Navidad.

And this is how the day ended back at home.
