Back to the Blog

I know how dull you find it when I rabbit on about how busy I am and how little time I have had for blogging, (especially as you internet potatoes out there have nothing better to do) but the month of May and June really has been exciting and busy. I've been away from the blog for the last ten days because I've been on my annual jaunt to El Salvador.



What an exciting few days! I love bouncing down the dusty roads of El Salvador in a pick up truck with a group of teenagers. We climbed a volcano, visited a coffee plantation, went to the site of the martyrdom of Romero, celebrated a village fiesta for Saint Anthony of Padua complete with fireworks during Mass, a clown after Mass, work in the local school and parish and all with a dose of reality with lots of heat and no air conditioning.



My favorite comment from the teenagers: Kid arrives home and Dad says, "Welcome to the real world." Kid pauses and says, "No Dad. I've just come from the real world."



AMEN.
