Semana Santa

My plans for Holy Week were very much in line with my North-American heritage: take advantage of the time off to get caught up on work, then fix a formal Easter dinner on Sunday for my family and some favorites at AFE, complete with flesh flowers and an Easter egg hunt.

Of course my plans flew out the window. Not having a babysitter made work impossible. The scorching heat encouraged us to do like the locals: search for water to swim in. Then as Easter approached and I began to prepare for my big dinner, we lost all of our water supply at home. There was no way I was going to attempt to cook a big dinner without water. We went out to eat instead. Elijah still had his Easter egg hunt, with a surpise guest. A neighbor came by, a little bit high, to show us this snake he caught.

All in all, it was an Easter I will never forget!
