The church on the corner
The church is called Corazon de Jesus (la nueva...since there´s an older one too with that name) and it is the reference point we use to give people directions to our house (¨350 metros al oeste de La Iglesia Corazon de Jesus, la nueva, a lado derecho, los portones blancos y grandes¨...yep...that´s our address here...no street numbers or even street names). The church also has a loud recording of church bells that "rings" each hour. Unfortunately, their clock is often off a little so they don´t quite chime in the hour... more like 5 minutes past. Pura Vida!
