PUERTO QUETZAL, GUATEMALA - Sunday 5/4/25
Sunday Morning I went to Mass with fellow residents ( MariAnne, Amanda, Phil, Kim and Fran - left to right ) at Parroquia San Jose Esposode la Virgen Maria Church in San Jose, Guatemala. This was an extremely friendly and family oriented parish. The priest made special efforts to include all the children as often as he could through out the Mass. They went up to hug him on the altar during the sign of peace. I used my google translate much more effectively, feeling like I got 90% of the readings and the homily.
After Mass I had planned to go to the beach, but it was so warm I opted to go back to the Ship with Fran, Phil & Kim. Phil flagged down 2 tuk tuks to take us back to the port. It was a nice way to cool off and also take in the Sunday market shoppers.
