They’re here!!!
It’s early Saturday morning and Marilyn and Eugene are here. They arrived three hours later due to airport foolishness. It was funny cause we were kinda getting worried but there is no way to call each other here. We were pretty sure they’d show up, but if it got too late and they decided to go to a hotel, there’s no way we’d know. At home we’re very connected to each other through cell phones. Even small children seem to carry them now a day, but not here. Here news travels slowly. It got me thinking of times gone past. How many people have asked God to care for their loved ones during journeys wondering if the ship had made a successful crossing.
They are sleeping now, exhausted after a day of travel. We’re sitting on the porch sipping our coffee, waiting to show them our little town. The last hour of their journey was along the coast, but they wouldn’t know it because it was dark. They are sleeping in the jungle, but across the road is a cool black sand beach. Charles and I are like little kids. Is it Christmas yet? Can we start opening presents? Not until morning kids! Sigh!
Today’s Program
We’re up, had breakfast, and are almost ready to go. Today we’re gonna hike up to the point with Marilyn and Eugene. We took yesterday a bit easy so they could recover from a day of traveling. Yesterday Marilyn and I found ourselves staring at a leaf of a young banana tree watching 2 different kinds of ants working busily. We were staring for a while when we started to laugh realizing that we’d been entertained by ants for about five minutes. It’s like that here. So many fascinating things to check out. The locals must think we’re loco!
This afternoon we’re going to get down to some serious business, however. After lunch I’m going to take everyone to my office. It’ll be a grueling day, but I think they’re ready. It’s really fun showing our friends this wonderful place. Gotta go though. Lots of nothin’ to do.
