Sunday, week 4

I was awakened by a knock on the door.  It was the laundry.  Two hours later, I was reawakened by Winn.  We went to Kathy's Waffle House for breakfast.  I had oatmeal with bananas and raisins....stuck to my ribs very well.  Next, we went and looked at the San Francisco Church, Convent, and Museum.  The museum was fascinating.  There was a large collection of statues showing the old gods.  Some of them were Pre-Columbian.  We also saw pottery, figurines, paintings, etc.  Well worth spending time there.

We returned for a little R&R.....  At 3:30 p.m., Winn, Lise's husband Wayne and I, left for a tour with Bosco.  Lise had a sore throat, and wanted to save her energy for later.  Bosco took us to the house of his half-sister and her mother and brother.  The mother Dahlia, promptly put us all to work.  I did rice, beans, gallo pinto, fried tortillas, and fried cheese.  I think I can make gallo pinto when I go home.  We ended up eating two types of plantains, fried cheese, gallo pinto, ensalada, chicken enchiladas, tostados, chicha (a maize and raspberry) drink, water and coffee.  We loved every minute of it.

We got back to the hotel just in time to change for an outing with Lise's Spanish teacher.  We rode to the lake in a two-horse carriage.  We stopped at a club with live music.  It was terrific!  Even some of the children danced. It was a lovely outing with Omar, Lise, Wayne, Winn, and I....even though we took a taxi back. :)  Willa
