Day 8 Part 1 - Attending church, watching a women's committee meeting, village scenes
Sunday, March 5, 2000
Our last morning in Nuevo Mexico. It was Sunday, so some of us decided
to attend their church service.
Afterward, we watched a meeting of their local Madre Tierra (women's
committee).

The church at Nuevo Mexico, with the volcano in the background. The volcano
was active while we were there, and each day left a thin layer of ash over
everything. My dad picked up a small sample in a film container, as a
souvenir. I was afraid the customs officials might think it was some kind of drugs.
