One of the places we visited was St. George's Cathedral. Although the history of this church can be traced back to 1781, the current building, which is the 4th St. George's church, was completed in 1899 and is now designated as a National Monument. It is one of the tallest wooden structures in the world.
After visiting the church we did a little shopping in the main shopping district. Because we were looking for something specific, we happen to pass by this guy that was selling drinks. The first time we passed by him he just hollered something out to us as we passed by, I didn't pay any attention to him. The second time we passed by him we called out "hey white boy, want to buy something to drink." This time I said no, I was good. The next time we passed by him, he called out "hey American dude, come and buy something to drink." Again I said no, but told Tammy when we pass by him again, I'll buy something from him...and I did. It seemed, however, that total strangers were wanting me to give them the fist-bump greeting, not sure why? To reward ourselves for not spending too much, we went to Bruster's Ice Cream (yes they have that in Guyana). I got a single scoop of coconut chip ice cream...delish!
When we got back to the Caines', we had one of my favorite dishes and one of my favorite drinks...Banana soda and cook-up. Cook-up is a Guyanese dish made of rice cooked in coconut milk, chicken, vegetables/bean, and spices...delish!
Tomorrow is the first day of our 2 day worship symposium. I will be teaching on Worshipping in Spirit and Truth, focusing more on the truth part than the Spirit part. Wednesday will be the second night of the symposium where we will dedicate the whole evening to worship and prayer.
