easter

Hey everyone,
wow! Two weeks left! I'm gonna tell you about Easter here, it is quite a event! There is one week of vacation before Easter Sunday,almost every day everyone goes to church and there are procession's which are: when tons of peoples jam the streets singing,praying,and socializing! They carry ,torches, dolls and much more! One day we even watched dolls kissing! The most beautiful one(I thought) was the one were Sawdust-sand-salt art lined the streets! There was sawdust on the bottom and a sand and colored salt mix on the top. There was one,that was just well stunning it was a picture of Mary and Jesus. It was stunning! Also to watch it go up in and hour and then be destroyed in a hour was quite amazing,yet sad.On Easter Sunday we went to the finca(farm) of some very poor but nice people,it was amazing to see the kids smiles why they played,water balloon fights,found eggs,and cracked eggs over peoples heads! so as you get from this entry Easter was completely different but nice in its own way! For me it was a little hard to understand since we are not catholic but the streets filled with torches was still pretty! I hope all is well in AK and cant wait to be back!
