Fortin de las Flores

I'm writing from Fortin de las Flores, a quaint little town in the mountains of Veracruz, tucked away between Orizaba and Cordoba. It took Alan 4 1/4 hours to drive here from San Juan del Rio and the scenery was amazing. I didn't get pictures - I'll try to on the way home! Huge rugged mountains, incredible valleys, green everywhere, rivers down in the ravines, villages also down in the ravines! Amazing! It was a beautiful drive though on four-lane highway. It better be a beautiful highway because the tolls came to more than $40! That's DOLLARS! It's worth it though and was a very enjoyable trip.

We're here for our annual fellowship conference with the CAM Mexico missionary body. Our first message this evening with Uncle" Bob (Tim Blycker's uncle!) was excellent and just what we needed. The first evening meal was fabulous - as are all the meals here at Fortin. Not just the town is called Fortin de las Flores, that's also the name of the hotel and it's a beautiful restful spot to enjoy a few days. Y'all come, hear??
