Today, we left the compound for the first time in 8 days. We headed to downtown San Raymundo, were we made a stop at the local shops and the historical Catholic Church. It was absolutely magnificent and beautiful. It remains opens still, for service and throughout the day for people to come and pray. It was built in the 1800s but has been restored trough the years.

San Raymundo Catholic Church
It is heartbreaking, but a positive I thought of is that they must see the most beautiful sunrises/sets, storms... Silver lining. It is truly all about perspective. That is what these people taught me.

Details among details inside
The altar
Life size dolls in dress to portray different biblical characters were throughout the church.
In the city, religious monuments were placed sporadically throughout the square.
This huge tree was centered in the middle of taco stands, vendor shops, etc.
Street view.
This is their 3 wheeled taxi, hehe
Beef!

Outskirts leaving the town... This is a convenient store. Notice the armed guard.
A group of homes...
They lined the sides of the mountains.
Better homes were fortunate enough to have walls made concrete.
But most were tin.
Approaching Guatemala City, still many small villages to pass through.
