Beauty, beans and bread

This post is a jumble because I cannot quite get the blogger right on my iPad.  Bear with me.  First we took the boat across lake Atitlan to San Lucas, checked into our hotel where was given a room in the back where the trucks and the laundry are.  We walked around the town and along the water,and then went to the mission for dinner where we had soup with chicken stock,so once again I had bread,plantains and rice; however, once they leader learned was a vegetarian,she brought me a big old bowl of black beans.  Life is good.

Tomorrow we tour the projects of the mission workers and then join a work group in the afternoon.  It will be an adventure, and despite the cold shower and potential bedbugs, I have been promised a hot shower on Wednesday night when we leave and go to the next place.  So, read these photos backwards and try to make sense of them.  Lake Atitlan is gorgeous and the place from which we took the boat.  To bed.

This was a little outside place with a television and a group of young men watching the soccer game between Guatemala and Bermuda, the game that was tied in Guatemala now played in Bermuda.  We didn't stay to see who won.Walking along the lake we spotted these wonderfully  crafted rowboats and saw women washing clothes along the rocks, pounding and lathering, as children swam, washed and played in the water.
The town of San Lucas -
😌Today we took a small boat across from pochotal to San Lucas where the big mission is located.
We walked around the small town, checked into our hotel, only to learnt that there really wasn't a room for me, so I am In a dark, dreary room at the back where the laundry hangs.
