city news

a great day of learning to move around on public transportation on land and across the water. we have eaten local food for all our meals and everyone is enjoying the cuisine and the chai of course. the questies met other students today and gleaned from them rich insights. our friends were great guides and hosts. our eyes and hearts have been opened. tomorrow we tour some very old sites. a few quick showers but partly cloudy all day, we are thankful. all but one bag was delivered today. we pray for the last bag of mostly supplies arrives tomorrow. thanks for you dupport. c.t.

Hey, City Team! It's fun to calculate the time difference between the time I'm writing this and your (probably) being sound asleep. Glad you're enjoying the food and drink! How's your recovery from jet lag? We are keeping you in our thoughts constantly and wish we could live out this marvelous experience with you--but it wouldn't be the same with parents along, would it??

Hey Robbie. Good to hear that the trip is going well. Just wanted to let you know that we are praying for you back here in Connecticut. Can't wait to hear about the trip when you get back.
Hope you enjoy seeing the buildings there.
