A Quick Trip

We took a quick trip to San Pedro with Martha's family and Jason. We were surprised by CLOSED shops and NO food at even a gas station. Well...it WAS Labor Day so people must have been taking it THAT serious. We met up with the boys at my sister-in-law's house and saw a petting zoo! There were chickens, guinea chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, pigs, piglets, cows, bulls, oxen, and sheep...plus, dogs and cats, of course. We headed on to my mother-in-laws for a baking class. She was preparing fresh bread in a TATACUÁ...a fire oven (a brick oven). We visited Pastor Marcial's Mom's house and saw more animals, (all of the above) PLUS, goats and A MONKEY, her house pet found in the woods. After that we had dinner at Pastor Marcial's house and the Weinhardts got to take a horse and buggy ride to Vivi's mom's house where the young kids were all playing volleyball.
We had one more adventure planned for today, but the 25 kilometers on the dirt roads in the rain scared us off. We DID get home earlier than planned and even found a crate of fresh pineapples on the side of the highway for only $3.00. It was a fun Quick Trip and GOOD to see family, again.
