blog ONE

Alright, testing this out. We'll see how long blogging a few moments from each day can last...

Today was FULL of moments. I had a complete day off so I took the bus to Mondello, the closest beach. I've been there a few times already taking bus 544 so I decided to take 833 instead to see a different route. The back half of the bus was open air so I sat with my pack and enjoyed how the air turned from car-fume-filled to beachy-breezy. This bus went all the way around Monte Pellegrino! So beautiful. The road runs right between cliffs and sea.

I took my goggles with me so I could see what I was swimming in! No fish sighted, but the bottom was so ripply. I swam in the clearest blue you can imagine and giggled all the while.

Skip over to the evening now...I've just ridden with three semi-friends to a strangers house to congratulate them on the birth of their new baby boy. More driving past mountains and mountains and mountains. Reading Psalms (18) while driving to Tuolomne in August came to mind. My understanding of Italian is growing because of these WONDERFUL people from church that I have met and how they don't speak English. But still, it's hard for me to follow the conversation. It was so neat to be seated in this room full of great character and study each person. I've become the wordless friend who picks up on the little things, you know?

God spoke and blessed in so many ways today.
