Tim & I took a walk with our teacher this morning to a church to see this glorious carpet. The sad thing is that it is temporary. It's all made of colored sawdust!! This is part of the preparations for Easter here. This carpet is protected, but soon the streets of Antigua will be covered so that people can walk on them, in the processions leading up to Semana Santa, or Holy Week. We watched one small procession last Sunday, and it was a new experience for us. They make a lot of Jesus' suffering and death, but little celebration of his resurrection.
I've been asked to include some photos of us, but as I'm usually BEHIND the camera. I'll try to get something this weekend of the two of us.
