Today

I knew it would be an interesting and eventful day. Rocky and I went to the school where the church in Zomora was supposed to be meeting all day and there was no one there so we came home and messed around until 11:30 and the we went to Fernandos where we used to live. We were invited over for lunch and a trip up the mountain to see their farm. We got there and their middle daughter is about 10 or 11 and she beat rocky in chess. we were served soup and a big plate of rice and 3 meats with a potato salad dish. Glass of tree tomato juice, glass of coke, peach with crackers. Very full!!!
  We then got in the car and went up the mountain!!!WOW what a view of Zomora. We harvested sugar cane and crushed it with a thing like a wringer washer. We did not take our camera.  They strained the juice and squeezed some oranges into it and it was so good. I saw the first pineapple on the plant and that was cool. these mountains are straight up and we walked down and looked at a place where he has pond for tilapia and a pen for pigs, an area for fruit trees. And then back up and around and up higher. Rocky and I can breath pretty hard after a little hike. We decided that we needed a mountain to climb each day for exercises. We are trying to get in shape for a 3 plus hour hike in the jungle the last of this month. Rocky rides a bike and I just walk. I am having to get over my fear of all of these loose dogs.
 Tomorrow Corey's furniture is supposed to be diliverd from Quito and we plan to kinda straighten his house up some so it will be nice for him. Well that is about it for now.

Sunday Morning

Yea!!! The sun is shinning this morning. It has been raining for about a week. But I guess with a yearly rain fall of 22 feet, it has to rain all of the time. And for the trees and flowers to be so pretty. I am thankful that we get this wonderful opportunity to experience all of this beauty.

  I listened to one of my favorite pastors this morning while cooking breakfast. Matt McGowen  ,http://cottonwoodbaptistchurch.com/sermonmanager.php?sermonID=3595  

We have two invites today and we have accepted both by accident so we are going to arrive at an all day thing with the church here in Zomora at 10:30 and make a fast get away at 11:30 and go to some friends home and partake of empanadas and who knows what else. Will do an update after. This is Latin America so fast get aways can be pretty hard to do.We wiil see! OK more later.

New Look

Ok I finally got a new look. It just takes me so long to do these things. Hope you all enjoy the new look and hopefully I will be a more dedicated blogger. Thanks for taking the time to stop by.
