Our Trip To Merida, Mexico November 1
0th - 13th 2006
Friday early morning we flew out to go visit Jonathan and Rachel. For the past 51/2 months they have been living in Mexico to learn the spanish language. They have been studying hard and they do great talking to everyone there, Galen and I were impressed! This first picture is Friday afternoon after we flew in. They took us to a city called
Progresso. We ate at this place right by the beach and then they drove us around to see the port where all the fishing boats go in and out. You can see one of the boats in the picture. Then we have a picture here of some houses (Thank God I live in America!). We also went to one of Beacon's supplier's. It was one of the fish plants... you can see some of the fresh fish there that was being delivered.
Saturday we went to Chichen-Itza which is some of the many Myan Ruins there. It was amazing to see. After we left there, we went to a restaurant to eat lunch and there they also had a Senote. A Senote is a very deep hole in the ground with water in it because there their rivers flow under ground. People go swimming in some of them. Those are very amazing too!
On Sunday morning, we went to Jonathan and Rachel's church. We could not understand one word that was being said, but it was a neat experience. Afterwards, we went to Kareem and Carla's house, where we sat outside on there patio and they cooked out on their grill. We had a very nice visit with them.
Then on Sunday evening we met up with Edwin and Nalda. We went to a very nice Italian Restaurant where they sang "happy birthday" to Galen since his birthday was the next day.
Kareem and Edwin are both men that are suppliers to Beacon (where Galen works) they and their families are very nice people and plus it was nice to be able to speak english and someone understand us! :)
It was a blessing for us to go out there and see them and all the things that they had been doing. We are very greatful to have the Eddy family, they are very gracious people and God has used them so much in mine and Galen's life.
