At the top we had the sweetest welcome from the children of the church who had a dance prepared and were wearing their traditional outfits. Of course the little guy kinda stole the show! We also danced with them a bit and got to say hello in the church building. They made us breakfast of beans and eggs and great fresh spicy salsa.
