Blog Entry #3 A Typical Sunday for Us in Bucerias

First we go to this church called la Fuente Riviera. We go to the 10:00 a.m. service which is in English. There a Spanish service right after ours and then another Spanish service at night. Plus there is a service in Spanish on Wednesdays. The church is very active in the community with a food bank, free meals, food delivered to the old or sick, mentoring, prison ministry, church planting and it appears now, teaching English!!! I have a class on Friday mornings and another one in Punta de Mita about 30 minutes away on Tuesday nights.

This playground is open for neighbourhood children to play in. The yellow building in the background is not part of the playground like a castle or something!!!!

I love this. At the front of the church there are two screens and there is this countdown for the beginning of the service and when it gets down to 0:00 the pastor is on the stage and he is talking. It has begun right on time!!!! I can think of lots of places where I would like to see signs like this posted and I bet you can too!!!

Mexican Boys and Mexican Toys

This is the market. It goes on for blocks. Lots of stuff. Interesting. We aren't big shoppers.

Then we walked through the tourist market where everyone has something to sell you with lots of pressure and finally after working our away around the construction we arrive at Andriano's. This very orange Mexican restaurant right on the beach. We ate there a few years ago when we stayed in Bucerias. The menu had changed but the food was still good even if I was a little loose bowelled for a few days after!!! There are many wonderful restaurants here in Bucerias.

It was so much fun to sit at the window and have vendors come and sell us their wears as we were eating. This woman is laden down with jewelry. It is hard to find some interesting bling that you haven't seen before.

Beautifully Woven Blankets and Tablecloths 

What is a beach without horses???

I bought a great beach cover up from this woman.

The gorgeous pinks came home with us. I sure wish they lasted longer. I found out a few days later that I paid too much for them but what the heck, this is Mexico!!!
