arrived!

An ocean breeze billows through the curtained window at my side. Outside the window, three floors below, dozens of pleasure boats bob along the docks. A lighthouse towers between our bedroon and the lazy blue water of the Atlantic Ocean. In the distance, between sea and sky,the majestic Rock of Gibraltar stands like a soldier. Even beyond this, when the clouds scatter, one can see the mountain ranges of Africa on the horizon.
Yesterday's journey (Montreal, London, Malaga) seems like a distant dream. Our travels were carefree and successful, except for 3 bags that missing at the baggage check. Now, after an airline courier's delivery, only one is missing. (Jeff McGrath has been a very good sport about this...)
We are the recipients of excellent care and hospitality, compliments of Dick and Ruth Florres. After a morning of catching up on sleep and an afternoon of orientation, we are refreshed and ready for our first open-air outreach on the streets of Estapona.
Thanks for praying for us!

Glad you arrived safely.

Any kayaks on the ocean? If so, maybe you can get a ride.

I returned from Bonnie's sister's furneral today(Saturday). Terri Gilchrist and Ted went with me. We decided to spend the night at the last moment yesterday afternoon. Bonnie was grateful for this decision. After a few hours in the pool with the Caityln and Michael, we all had dinner at an Mexican restrauant. Food was great and the fellowship was wonderful. Bonnie and the kids will be home tomorrow.

Take Care.

Whenever I now read about the Rock of Gibralter I think of the Horatio Hornblower series of historical naval fiction - HMS on the high seas, and often in and out through the strait of Gibralter. Wish I could see it. Haven't been in southern Spain in two years! But I can feel the breeze even now.
