Germany also has historical ties to Mexico. I'd like to hear about both trips.
Oso, this is a thought, although I really prefer things as they are now. I do hope the mainland category wouldn't be a isolated as Off-topic, as it
is bound to be more pleasant and worthy of inclusion

What's your point, Minnow?
Do all the discussions about weather in all parts of the world need to be deleted because they arn't "BAJA"? Or, all the references to Home Depot in
San Diego?
How about the mention's of politics in Mexico City and Washington?
Do these things not qualify for discussion?
Are digital cameras , "Baja"?
How about gas refrigerators or durable tires?
It's all mentioned here and it's all Baja.
You are Baja, even though you dont live here. Why would you attack a fellow Nomad for posting a beautiful foto, regardless of the content?
What kind of arrogance is that?

When I go on the attack you will know it.
My point is, where does it stop? This is supposed to be a baja website. I guess the owner, and moderator will be the final decision makers, but
don't shoot the messenger. IMHO, the anarchists photo is not that great anyway.

Minnow... remember your deal to have fun here again...? No attacking Nomads. Play nice... Let the moderators do their job, and don't worry about
others breaking the rules.
'academicanachist' is a published historian, has a PhD, etc. I am sure he knows that those churches are not in Baja...
Nomads requested he share his voyages outside of Baja to us... Let the moderators decide if it belongs here... There surely isn't another forum for
this Nomad to post as Off Topic is a disaster for people who use politics for personal warfare... last time I looked (2 years ago!).

Just so you guys don't think I am biased because academicanachist is a friend of mine:
To AA, how about tying them in to Baja to make them legit? Like that was a Jesuit church that Salvatierra or Urgate was at before going to Baja... Or,
Junipero Serra studied or rested here when he walked across Mexico before crossing to Loreto in 1769...?

AA's posts are wonderful. We are lucky to see them. Let's not make him play games to be "legitimate".

From what I know you asked for specific permission to post reports from AA's south america trip.
I guess that gives him a lifetime pass to post whatever
Lookup the definition of Anarchist. Certainly rule 1. is no more important than any other to someone who would call himself that.
FYI, I am having fun. Some of my fellow posters don't seem to be though.

No worries! The picture is of one of the Rocks that sits off punta banda on a particularly rough day. I will try again.

Hola Me-no,
Y saludos a tu media naranja.
Actually, although our wives may be paisanas in the larger context, mine is from Hidalgo the State, not the town and a fur piece from Sonora. Her
hometown is Ixmiquilpan, center of the Otomi people and site of one of the oldest churches on the continent, pictures of which posted by AA awhile
back. Glad you agree, a "Mainland" forum would not be that disruptive. Most here would still be primarily focused on Baja, but many like to also
discuss San Carlos, Copper Canyon etc. It's up to Doug.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

'Mainland Mexico' forum here would be a great idea!

Historic churches
This part of the forum deals with historic sites and related stuff. I have been posting shots of historic churches from central Mexico, particularly
16th century churches, because they were the historic precursors to the Baja California missions. There is a direct connection between the 16th
century fortress convents and missionary methods developed in central Mexico, and the frontier missions in Baja California, Sonora, Paraguay, and
elsewhere. It all relates to the discussion of the origins and development of Spanish missions.

Jesuit Church in Macao
PS. The shot Minnow posted of the Jesuit church ruin in Macao is more germane then he perhaps realizes.

Portuguese Jesuits
I am in Mexico this weekend, but wanted to add comments to my earlier posts. The Jesuit church in Macao was part of a larger parallel Jesuit
enterprise in India, China, and Japan under Portuguese sponsorship. The most important Jesuit saint, Saint Francis Xavier, was an early participant in
this venutre, and is buried in Goa, India, which was the headquarters of the Portuguese Estado do India. San Francisco Javier mission in Baja
California was named for him, and there are many similarly named Jesuit missions in Spanish America. A group of Jesuits were martyred in Japan in the
early 17th century during an anti-Christian purge. One of the Paraguay missions was named Los Santos Martires de Japon. The Society of Jesus was an
international order, and to understand the group of Baja California missions it is useful to view the larger history.
