Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!
Jesus Christ is Risen!
It was through a friend’s friend of an acquaintance that we received
an invitation to attend the Union Church of Lima, an international English
language church. We went to the Sunrise
Service, at 8, which was really a couple of hours after sunrise. It was a
lovely service of scripture and song, held outdoors on the front lawn of the
church. That was followed by a delicious
brunch. What a refreshing change to hear
English all around with so many accents and no translation required.
After the worship service we decided to do a walking tour of
the area. This church is right near the
ocean so we walked along the sea wall and also at beach level. It was a beautiful day for a walk, watching the
surfers enjoying the waves roll in, and families enjoying the beaches. We stopped at one point and took in the roar
of the ocean as the sound bounced off the cliff walls and waves rolled over the
rocks. What an amazing sight.
The end of the walkway was at the Larcomar Shopping Mall which
is built right into the cliff. It’s several
levels of shops, but not all under a roof as this city never gets rain. The stores
were mostly familiar names from any mall back home. By this time we were walked out, not really
interested in shopping and so hailed a cab and headed to the hotel for a
rest, followed by dinner at an excellent restaurant near our hotel.
