Story

After our canyon, we drove up to Jalpan de Serra.

Luke and Tre and Napo weren't very interested in the architecture, so they just got an ice cream and went back to the Airbnb. Ryan, Tom, and I visited the Franciscan Mission, got an ice cream, and bought some souvenirs from the vendors.

We were going to visit the little museum there, but it closed a few minute after we got there.
