Cristo Rei {Christ The King} Community 2 of 2


A young parishioner on his bike
After Mass the local bar/shopkeeper's wife invited us to lunch. Especially since we had to wait a few hours to go and visit another community in the afternoon in the same area. It took us over 3 hours to get out here, so we make good use of our travel.
Notice the curtains used as decorations to cover the wooden walls. By local standards this would be a well off house. The kitchen was next door and open to the world and it had a dirt floor. The floor here is painted concrete.

Just two shelves of products. The basic necessities is all people can afford here.
