Catemaco

A quiet Sunday in Mexico. Several people in the group attended Mass at the local cathedral and said it was very interesting even though they couldn't understand most of it. It rained lightly most of the morning and we stayed in the campground while John worked on the computer and I goofed off.DSCF0394.JPG

Mid-afternoon we walked done the Malecon (lake side walk way) and enjoyed the city and it's inhabitants on a lovely afternoon. The men offer boat rides on the lake so you can see monkey's and birds and the women and children are selling jewelry, flowers and snacks. We witnessed a 15th birthday celebration, shopped for coffee and brooms (John had to see who made them) and practiced our Spanish by reading signs. We had a group dinner at a local restaurant and bought some locally grown and roasted coffee.
