Today was our second day off from Clinic. We traveled 2 hours to the Village of Alegria. Upon arrival, we went up a steep hill to a dormant volcano that is at least 250 years old. In the middle of the volcano is a lake called "Laguna of Alegria", which stands for Lake of Happiness. What a sight - we were able to take our tour bus and 35 team members to the crater of a volcano. It was an awesome experience!
After about an hour we went back into the Village and had lunch and did a little shopping. at the center of Alegria was a beautiful old church. The Lions arranged to have the church opened so we could enter the church and even take pictures. It was a great afternoon for everyone. Besides having a second day of rest (Clinic starts again tomorrow), it was an opportunity for us to experience firsthand the culture of El Salvador.
Bye for now...your "roving reporters" signing off.
