Hiking with Bishop Almachius

Went for a hike with Bishop Almachius. We hiked for 4 hours which I was impressed with him. He is a good man. When ever we came across children he gave them candy. The one thing that surprised me was when I had lunch with him in his Bishop outfit when he was done eating he pulled his teeth out, grabbed a tooth pick and went after his molars. I guess he is comfortable being around me. The Catholic Church really is the glue to the community here. Everyone goes to church just to meet, hang out, the children have school and play there, there are two choirs that practice everyday. People come just to get water from the rain barrels. The faith is very strong here. People are very dedicated. Mass went for 2hours and then the announcements was another hour. Way to long but the music is awesome. The dancing is great too.
 This is a brick factory. They make bricks by hand. Mud, Clay and then heating it.
 These are the workers who are making the bricks and the molds that they use.
 This is Fr. Hans from Austria. The kids like to follow the white person around.
 This is the shrine of Our Lady or Lute founded by a White Father Order from France.
This is the view of the Shrine from above and they have the stations of the cross.
