Since we were warned that it gets crazy in town during that time, the brothers decided to not have arranged meetings for field service. So we mainly stayed home away from all the "holiness". :0) Mike and I have started a study with a man in Sololá on Saturdays, so we thought we would go up on Saturday morning to have his study. BIG mistake! As we were heading up, the traffic was terrible, loads of busses and trucks filled with people coming down for a day at the lake. Traffic was backed up both ways as far as your eyes could see the road going up the hill. We knew it would take all day just to get there and back, so we decided to turn around and just go home. That was about 10:00am and we heard that even later in the afternoon the traffic was still the same! A little later in the day we thought let's go see for ourselves what this is all about, so we did and the pictures below show you what we saw. Pure craziness!

| You would think you would see posters of Jesus or the cross since it is "holy week", but nope this is what you saw as you came into town. |
 |
| Down at the end of the riverbed it was full of cars. |
 |
| This is on the road that runs along side one side of the riverbed. Packed with busses and cars! We couldn't believe it! |
 |
| This picture and the next two are down along the lake. Full of people and food and merchandise stands! You felt like you were in a herd of cattle as you walked along there. MOOOO! (I thought for a second that I was at Kemper Arena for Regional Convention in the corridor during lunch break.) |
 |
| This is at the lower end of Santander. The main shopping street! Never seen it so crowded! We had had enough by this point so we headed back home where it was much quieter! |
