The Blessing

Another new experience here in Mexico. A 'blessing'. Manuel and Lupita have run a language school here in La Paz for several years. Ron and numerous other cruisers have taken Spanish lessons at their school as have many others. The school has been recently moved to a site about a block from where it has operated in the past. In moving the size of the school has doubled.

Before opening the new site a priest/minister was brought in and a 'blessing' of the new site was performed. The officiant used baby yellow roses, dipped in the holy water, to sprinkle around the school.

Manuel, who is originally from Nigeria, and his wife, Lupita, originally from Mexico City, hosted refreshments after the short but significant ceremony.
