We found a park-like area where a bunch of kids were playing in a stone-rimmed pool and decided it would be a perfect lunching spot. It was! Getting back into the air conditioning at the next spot was lovely – we went to the Science Museum and wandered around quite a bit. Next stop? The Dyers’! The Dyers were a part of our church in Appleton until 1 1/2 years ago when a job brought them here. It was great to meet up with them again. We were able to hang around, sleep, play games, and eat to our heart’s content (no small feat with a group of high schoolers!) thanks to their hospitality.
We made it back to New City for the first orientation talk where we got to meet up with Andrew and the two other groups we’ll be with this week – one from Iowa, one from Pardeeville, WI.
The week promises to be interesting: we’re short a group (one cancelled at the 11th hour) and the weather is predicted to be mid-90’s every day. Sounds like our kind of challenge!
Oh – and Lori found a little feathery blue bird left behind in one of the dorm rooms. He has since been adopted, named Pete, and pretty much become our mascot for the week. Look for him in pictures – and (if he does anything interesting!) in stories going forward!
