Sangre de Cristo Church

Above is a 2007 photo of our parish church, Sangre de Cristo (Blood of Christ). The yellow is even dingier now, but it still looks “happy” against our green mountains!
The bus is called the Ruta, and comes by somewhat regularly, between 6.30 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. We are in the midst of the rainy season, however, and I suspect the Ruta will get to the point where it can’t get out to our area…the potholes are becoming lakes.
Walking is a muddy adventure. I wash my sandals and feet every night to get the mud and cow by-products off. Sr. Charlotte can write sometime about her “baptism by mud and manure!”
The cows don’t share the road with buses and cars… they rule! Big fines if you hit one.
