Brian summed it up well in his update earlier. It was sort of one thing after another, but what should we have expected really, we are in Guatemala after all! (: Because the highway was completely closed out of Guatemala City due to the semi roll-over, we had to take a different, much longer way into San Lucas. Apparently Fr Greg wanted the scenic route (; cause we went through Antigua, through the mountain, and along the coast. How appropriate (and very LATE! :). We decided we should change the name of the blog from "Padre's Journey Home" to "Padre's Adventure Home" At the point when our van broke down right outside of San Lucas, we said "well, what else could possibly go wrong!?" We should've knocked on wood...because minutes later the HERSE broked down! Padre was most certainly laughing at us! The crowds of people started already in the villages outside of San Lucas, and car after car adorned in yellow and white joined the procession. The alfombras, the people, the music, the tears, words escape me...the best way to do justice is quite simply to give you pictures.
And our favorite of all...the door to Father Greg's bedroom and the small shrine they set up inside.
