FACES = LOVE







HOLA
     This past week I have been visiting some of my fellow Maryknoll Lay Missioner's volunteer sites along with our Pilgrimage Delegation from Minnesota.  I want to show you some photos of faces filled with love despite the difficult challenges for families here in El Salvador.  Later, in the next couple weeks there will be more photos highlighting the people  that we share our lives with and their stories.

LAGO COATEPEQUE

A soft Evening Light

Our "Caballero"(Gentleman} Boat Guide, Jaime


Crystal clear blue water

A Beautiful Sunset for you
     My best friends here in El Salvador are Juliet (The States) and Kristin (Norway).  We had another great adventure by local bus last weekend to one of the most beautiful lakes I have ever seen....".LAKE COATEPEQUE".  It is an enormous crater lake created by volcanic eruptions hundreds of years ago.  The lake is surrounded by lush green mountains, and has crystal blue clean waters.  We hired a boat guide to take us out on the lake to swim, and also to soak in the hot waters from an underground hot spring just below the lake surface. You can watch the soft mist float across the lake, and then see amazing sunsets behind the mountain vistas. My thanks to Juliet and Kristin for use of their photos on the blog. I really believe that all nature is"living" art.
