Day 6 - Part 2: Fountains and Sunday morning

We continue with yesterday. 

Dinner time with our team. 

Delicious soup once again. 

And delicious spaghetti and meat sauce and garlic bread.  

After supper most, but not all, of the group travelled to the fountains.  

Dianne getting a bit zen : )

The fountains are always lovely.  

Kendra and Katrina. 

Now we can see them. 

Katrina and Gigi. 

It's a beautiful place

Even a small train for the children. 

Some fountain shots. 

Drinking it all in. : ) 

The main fountains where the laser show happens. 

Awe

New lights. 

The walk through fountain.  

We went to the fountains on a Saturday this time and it was VERY busy.  

The laser light show.  

Taking it in.  

And we ended with the water fountains you can walk in.  

Not everyone went in. 
Gigi said she would go in this time. 
Apparently she has never actually gone into the fountains.  

We love them.  

Very refreshing and fun.  

So, where did Gigi go?  

We looked and looked.  

Had fun as we looked.  

But she was hiding somewhere.  

Loads of fun as the fountains erupt at unexpected times. 

Still looking for that Gigi girl.  

hmmmmmmmm

George scanning the area, but to no avail. 

We finally found her. 
Well, more correctly she found us.  
George and I made sure she took part in the water experience.  : ) 

I think she had water in her ears, eyes, and nose. : ) 

It was worth the wait eh George. : )

Time to dry off. 

Such a great time. 
Gigi finally forgave us the next day.  : )

Group shot. 
We arrived back at 9:30 pm and went to bed.  

Today (Sunday) was a day to sleep in. 
Breakfast was at 9 a.m. 
Some woke up way earlier : ) 
Some didn't. 

Some took the time to read the blog.  

And Annette and Ella are feeling better.  Yay!  : ) 

A view from the upper room.  

We gathered at 8:30 to hear the comments from all of you back home.  THANK YOU to all of you who took the time to comment and encourage us.  Especially John B and Pastor Craig.  : ) 

Part of the comments from John was a request to give Annette a hug from all of the group.  So we did.  

And we did.  

And we did some more.  

And more. 

And MORE!  
My my John, they took that request very seriously. 
It was also requested for Ella, but hey, let's just say it didn't happen. : ) 

Chilin as we listened to the comments.  

Breakfast once again.  

Same fare again, but always good.  

Our cook, Carlitos, runs a small chocolate making business and invited us to sample his wares and purchase any if we wished to.  

They look delicious. 

Several did sample and will purchase some.  

We took the time to bless our cooks as well with compliments and prayer. 

Cute family. 

After breakfast we had our devotion and prayer time. 
Colin wants to answer a question apparently.  

Reflecting on our devotion time. 
Always good discussions.   

Some pens leaked in their container apparently.   

As we were video blogging, the air-force came out in force. 
They have been doing some sort of military exercises all morning. It's been LOUD, but cool. : ) 

Kendra and Joycegina swapping names and notes of people they have met in Gamaliel church.  

Colin and I wore the soccer Jerseys from our first trip in 2006. And yes, I've been giving everyone cheek kisses, so Colin is getting me back.  

Colin and I have been on every Learning Opportunity since 2006.  It's been a great journey with you Colin of Learning and growing and watching this relationship with Gamaliel church ebb and flow.   

We now board our bus and head to Gamaliel church where we will meet with the youth group and the couples group and have church together and then share a meal together and our lives together. 

More on that later..........................
