So at this place, I can't actually log in to my blogger account, so
hopefully this email comes through ok. In any case, today was really
awesome. I spent the morning moving from one hostel to another, due to
booking issues a bit ago. After that, I went out and walked across the
entire toursity part of the city. The place I wanted to go was a park
just off of one of the maps I had, and covered by advertisements on
the other map I had. And every tourist information place I stopped at
(including the one right outside the park) didn't have a map with the
park, let along a map OF the park (it's a big park). And I was trying
to get to a specific place within the park. In any case, I found the
park and it was amazing. And huge. Two hours walking to the park, and
another two walking around IN the park. Had some lunch, and felt
comfortable that I had found the spot I was looking for. Right around
5pm, a couple (later to be known as Kim and Shannon) started walking
across a field, frisbee in hand. Sure enough, they were also here for
the ultimate game. Eventually more people showed up. A few locals,
plus Kim (formerly the head of the Catholic Camps Fellowship at
Northern Michigan University), Shannon, Wade (Formerly the head of
Campus Crusade for Christ at a school in Ohio) and two of Wade's
friends from Ohio, were all here for the game. It was a ton of fun. It
was good to run and jump, catch and throw again. Quality times. I
skinned both my knees on an aborted layout, but they'll be ok :) All
around, it was awesome. To top it off, Kim invited me over to his
place for dinner with Shannon. They made pasta and salad and spinach,
and it was awesome. It was super cool because we got to talk about
faith stuff, and I had some of my questions about the Catholic faith
answered. We got along really well. Tomorrow I'm heading out for
Naples. I look forward to that. On a side note, I'm told that there's
a newsletter about the Germany Mission Trip from earlier available at
www.hhcf.org. It is written by Adam, one of the guys from the trip. I
can't read it here, though, because you need Adobe Reader, and this
computer does not have it. I hear from reliable sources that it is
quite enthralling.
And they lived happily ever after.
