Holy Rosary and Paint Nam!b!a

While visiting wonderful Swakopmund, Namibia, I had the pleasure of attending Mass here.

(How beautiful is that mosaic?!)

Holy Rosary Catholic Church.

The service was a mixture of English and German.

And I loved that the church fit so perfectly with the town's architecture.

Although, everyone bone in my body wanted to correct the grammar of this sign....

I loved the PAINT NAM!B!A movement!

When's the last time you saw one of these?  Let alone saw someone using a payphone?!

Atlantic Ocean and beach, I miss you already.

Easter in the Siné-Saloum Delta

at the village Church in Sokone near Toubacounta in the Siné-Saloum Delta of Senegal

 The Chapel outside the Church

 While the outside looked like the villagers had hunted for every available scrap metal 

and somehow pieced it together as a Church, the inside was lovingly cared for and beautifully painted
