After a delicious catered typical breakfast (eggs, fried plantains, rice and beans) we met in the sanctuary for a time of praise and worship. Isabel Paloma shared a powerful testimony about how we have many rolls to fill- as daughters, sisters, wives and mothers.
Next we boarded the buses and journeyed to Ataco, a small pueblo in the northern part of El Salvador. Once we arrived, everyone was free to shop at the artisan markets and then eat lunch on their own. Ena, Erlen and I walked up to the top of one of the hills and had coffee at Mission of the Angles, a small boutique hotel and restaurant. The views were spectacular.
We visited a few shops and then went to eat at Vitto's Pizza. We were about finished when it started raining, in fact, raining cats and dogs or like they say in El Salvador, raining snakes and frogs. It rained really hard for about 20 minutes and since there is little or no drainage in the town, the street looked like this.
We thought it best to wait for the water to recede before heading back to the bus. It took about 20 minutes, but we were finally able to cross the street.
