This picture is taken looking to the south (Nephite South, which is really southwest) from the Tlapacoyan Bridge across the great waters of the Papaloapan River and water basin. The mountain in the distance is our favorite, the Hill Vigía. There is a book, "In Search of Cumorah" by David Palmer, which makes some interesting claims about this hill. It rises above the town, Santiago Tuxtlas, in an area of many fountains of water. We are about 30 miles, as the crow flies, from this old volcanic mountain. The town in front of it is the pueblo Lerdo de Tejada. You can see the stacks of Lerdo's San Franciso ingenio, which is the sugar cane refinery, rising up in white. Immediately to our left, about 1/2 mile away is the sea, the Gulf of Mexico. You Book of Mormon geographers would find this area intriguing. Marvelous artifacts have been found around here which date from 1500 B.C. to 500 A.D.
