I have the 2003 5th edition and that page (377) is a photo of Mision San Javier... But it is in the Loreto and Vicinity section.
The church in the La Paz and Vicinity section is on page 391 in my edition and is the church in the middle of the city facing the plaza... Nuestra
Se?ora de la Paz
Can you scan and post the church you are asking about? Strange there is no caption under that photo?

Hmmmm... Odd there is no caption under the photo... Kat Kalamaras sounds like European spelling for an Indian word, as there are no original Spanish
words using K that I can think of.
Anyone else?

I think does it, Bajajudy, that building in the left looks like the one in the B&W picture, it look so inviting so I need it to find out where
this place was.
Thanks every body ..

El Triunfo
El Truinfo warrants a stop. Not only is this church there but there is also a piano museum. The town ladies make some beautiful baskets, too. There
are some interesting old buildings still standing from the mining days.
