Sunday, Jan 11 – Tourists Unite!

8:34 pm
We went to Casa's worship service complete with children's church, worship through music, and a message. The leader of the children's home truly has a passion for this place. It's very different here with worship because it's sooo energetic, not to mention it goes on forever..at least 45min to an hour of singing. People are dancing, clapping, jumping, yet they never get tired. Even the 50+ year old pastor joins in it all. It makes just standing and singing look quite dull.
After chuch we joined the cheerleaders in going to Antigua, the old capital of Guatemala and a major tourist destination (trap) with it's market and restaurants with menus in English. Where we ate was delicious, though. I had a pepper tenderloin steak that I would go back for time and time again if I could. I got that, a baked potato, tomato/avocado medley, and a coke all for just under $16. Not exactly dirt cheap, but I though that was pretty good regardless. That meal would have easily been $25 back home. We went to the market, got souvenirs, and took pictures. It was good to have a day of rest so we can get started going hard on those benches again tomorrow.
