Today is our last full day and Jalpan and we decided to spend it walking down to the dam and reservoir just south of town.
We were confronted again a few times by aggressive dogs, but we were ready for them this time - Brent carried a large stick and I carried a switch. The reservoir and countryside beyond is breathtaking. An added bonus, when we were walking back from the reservoir towards town we saw a van. We thought it was some kind of service van but we realized it was a campervan, and it has a CH (Switzerland) sticker on it. We stopped and said hi… which progressed to a conversation, and then an invitation in for coffee. All together we spent about 90 minutes with Jan (from Switzerland) and Marita (from Germany). They brought their van with them from Europe and have been traveling in it for over three years now. They were stuck in a small town in Argentina for nine months during the pandemic, and adopted a dog there who is now traveling with them. They are planning to visit eastern Canada before returning to Europe and maybe western Canada too. It would be fun if we could see them again. When we got back to town we got lucky and scored lunch on one of the private balconies at Restaurante Vicky. |
