Church, cows, and cook up...the full Guyana experience

This morning started bright and early with  an Anglican Church service at St. George's cathedral, the tallest wooden cathedral in the world.  The breeze blew off the ocean into the open air church and light steamed through the stained glass above.  We were announced as distinguished guests and awarded a keychain for our visit :)  Our second church service was just down the street; we met Michelle, a nursing student Randy met though his church before our visit in August 2012.  

"Cook up" was the lunch of choice which blends rice, coconut milk, black eyed peas, chicken, veggies, and spices.  Delicious!  We even got Kate to try Roti, an Indian bread, and finally found a non American food she liked :)

Back on our balcony at project dawn we watched cows and goats being herded from the field next to the CARRICOM (Carribean Community) Convention center across the road.  2 hours later they came back for the goats.  Interesting mix of old and new customs at work!

As we wait for our Chinese takeout (hey, we have to have a little American normalcy in our lives!), Randy and I are going to teach Kate how to make plantain chips :)
