Work and Play!

Thanks for all your comments. We´ve been reading them and passing them along.

Things are a bit busy throughout the city today with school children off from school preparing for tomorrow´s Independence Day celebration, demonstrations, and parades. We had breakfast, shopping with Padre, lunch at his parish residence, painting at soup kitchen, and meeting with the some of the young artists.

Meeting the young artists one made a painting of Jason. What a great job he did!

Padre and Martha toasting with Padre´s favorite drink(Shoofly)...job well done!

Here are Diana and Betty being greeted by the children when we arrived. Sorry but we are having more technical difficulties with computers in the area. They are dial up and slow. We will try again tonight.

Today we went downtown to exchange money and visited gift shops. Then we came to Padre Lacasse´s parish house for lunch.
Tomorrow they are celebrating their independence and we expect many if not all businesses to be closed. There are many parades, protests and excitement. We are blessed to witness this way of life. It is a true growing experience.
