Sunday July 8

 

Today was a relaxing day. We were able to sleep in a little and then we were treated to breakfast at a restaurant that has a breakfast buffet. It is at the edge of the lake and we requested seating outside at the edge overlooking the lake. The buffet they made eggs to order however you requested. They also had a desert bar and I chose to have desert and bacon first. The flan was delicious and the cake was as well! James had an omelettes with everything - onion,  mushroom, peppers, chorizo, tomatoes, and cheese. I also tried a Manzana Lift soda - an apple soda. It was pretty good. It is difficult to get Dr. Pepper here. James had coffee with fresh milk and cream brought on the side in shot glasses.

The view of the buffet to the outside seating.

After we arrived back at the Center, we had a devotional time as our service. James played with the praise team again but he had to use a wooden table for a drum.

Then we were on our own time for a while, so we walked to Ajijic to see what shops were open. It is difficult to know what is a shop as they are random and often just out of the front of their house. So there will be a few houses then the next one is a store. We saw a large soccer stadium and an open air market in the town square. I tried three paletas (popsicles) before I found a yummy one - Oreo. Then we walked back and like home, we stopped at Walmart on the way to get some pop and snacks.

The Hispanic church service was going on when we arrived back. The service lasted about 2 1/2 hours. The children are dismissed and run and play in the yard during part of the service.

It was nice to have a relaxing day. The group is concerned about getting all the work completed this coming week so I anticipate working hard the next few days.
