The San Gabriel Mission

Gil and Jenny



 After my brother Gil was baptized at this baptismal fountain
 at the San Gabriel Mission.
The photos above and below show where Gil was baptized, Pablo's Home and the driveway where the beer truck backed into to unload 30 cases of beer for the party.

 Dad and Grandpa had a party (celebration) at Pablo's home in San Gabriel.  The party was held around back of the home in the garden and veranda. There was a latin band simalar to a Salsa Band today playing music all day and night back there. All the young cousins stood behind a counter/table with bottle openers and opened cold bottles of beer for whoever wanted one from the washtubs of ice cold beer and soda pop. There at the corner at the end of the drive is where the young punks in the family stood with one foot against the wall while holding a beer with the other hand looking at the older folks dancing under the veranda.
It was a traditional great celebration for the folks in San Gabriel.
