I learned with the last entry that it takes quite a while to upload pictures to this blog, so below are a few samples from our day. More pictures can be found in a Facebook album.
We began the day with breakfast and some morning calisthenics...well, Jerry and Christa had a push-up contest at any rate. The rest of us got our workout by laughing!
We are finding that the city is in fact being invaded by pilgrims... and I don't mean the ones with the black buckled hats! Here are some pilgrims from the Phillippines we met at the zoo... interestingly enough, the picture was taken by one of the guys from the Italian group we had met the night before. I think they are following us... well, maybe not.
Here is the crew as we are leaving the zoo (minus Tony & Fr. John Martin who took a different exit)
Since we had a late night the night before, we headed home after the zoo, taking the ferry back through the harbor.
On our way back from the train, we went in search of a grocery store, only to find out that it had been just down the street from the station all along. So we picked up a few things and headed back to make dinner. The rest of the evening was spent together in the cottage, with me learning that cooking times triple when using not quite thawed chicken and older appliances that don't heat up very well. Let's just say that dinner was NOT at 7 p.m. as planned. Luckily, it did still turn out okay, just late. Perhaps the Lord is just trying to beat that whole virtue of patience into me, as we've been doing a lot of waiting. Instant gratification is not something to be grasped in this setting...and maybe that is a glorious lesson.
God bless and keep you all!
