| Palm Sunday in Suchitoto is quite lively! Before mass, we met at a park near the town entrance, processed through the cobblestone streets and ultimately arrived at the only Catholic church in town. A life-size statue of Jesus on a real donkey lead the procession! We sang the whole way and with fireworks accompanying. |
 |
| Go big or go home...No one carried a single, wimpy palm like we receive on Palm Sunday in the states. Everyone carried bouquets of palms, many decorated with flowers. |
 |
| I just love old people here! |

| Eva, Rosa (my roommate), and Currin. Currin's face is a testament to Rosa's direct and comical personality. |
 |
| Our destination, Santa Lucia is the focal point of town. This photo captures part of our Plaza Central. |
 |
| People packed the church. We stood shoulder to shoulder. Needing air, I weaved to this side door where I sat with the people in this picture. |
 |
| This man was sitting across the street from me. He needed a breather too. |
