Between fen and mountains

Church and temple

We borrowed some bicycles this morning and rode to the nearest village where we attended the Catholic mass. It was only a small village but the church, which had a capacity for hundreds, was jampacked and we had to stand on the steps outside with others. Some of the boys talked to us afterwards and had their photo taken. On the way back we called in at the Hindu temple where a large number were gathered outside. We were invited in and treated like royalty. We were fed and watered and a girl even made Mrs TT a bracelet. Lots of photos were taken and someone even came up and said that they were honoured by our presence! That was quite moving. This is a very spiritual place where people live out their beliefs in their everyday actions.
