LA CALERA CHAPEL-TOYAHVALE, TX.







This chapel is just outside of Balmorhea...in the now long gone village of Toyahvale. The chapel was built about 1902 and restored in 2003.
It is open 24/7 and no one ever vandalizes it.
It's a very "zen" place. PLEASE see the 2 old photos and read more about Mission Mary at www.caleratexas.org...apparently it never had any roof?!
Jamey and I lit candles and continued on to Alpine.
