Sunday was a great day. I woke up early... 5:30... for Spanish Catholic Mass. My host family and I got in the green 1970s car and drove to church. The mom insisted that I sat in the front and I couldn't figure out why. It was later, coming back home, that I realized that they were telling me I had to sit in the front because I'm "muy alta".... HA HA HA! I'm not tall! But, I guess I am taller than my host brothers (24, 21) and host parents. What a weird thought...
Anyways, after church, we returned to the casa and I got ready for church #2... the English Episcopal church! It was a great service... both talked about (evidently everyone in the Christian world is on the same liturgy) the parables of the lost coins, sheep, and prodigal son. They have gotten me thinking alot... when those thoughts are more processed (aka have grammatical structure that is understandable), I'll share. Until then... I'll continue with my story!
When we returned from church, we were treated with a market in San Juan Del Obisbo. It was gorgeous! And so much fun! I loved the community feel
and the great food! Here are some pictures from the market...
