As I type I'm staring out into the midnight moon shining it's gaze upon the English meditation garden below. Our reunion with the Germany Bechmanns was great-haven't seen them in 10 years. Christian & Bob acted like they haven't missed a beat- Christian only speaking German and Bob English-yet with a keen understanding of each other somehow. We boarded the train the next morning for Lewes, site of the Badke wedding, where upon lugging our luggage over cobble stoned streets towards our hotel low and behold there comes walking down the hill
bride and mother! What a sight on the far side of the world! That reunion was sweet too. Our hotel clerk handed us a large room key attached to an even larger metal hanger..now guess who gets to carry this around the village? Of course we just had to sit out in the garden for a lovely spot of tea. Lewes is quaint, with very narrow streets and even smaller cars to speed along the curvy roads. We chose High street to the right, for tomorrow we take it to the left. Flowers, friendly pedestrians and the Morgans from Boise, ID! So what's a 'breakfast bap'? Nothing like when I ordered a pizza in Paris and received raw egg smeared upon the entire circumference-oh no-a bap is the kind of bread, sandwiching egg, sausage & ham. Phew! The weather is lovely & so was the English wedding- but I'll catch up with that soon. For now, thank you for keeping us in your prayers for our health and safety. Until the Far Side comes near, with our love, Bob & Cori

ReplyDeleteI agree. We're back now from the top of the world. SO many stories, but I'll summarize with breathtaking views, 1,000s of ft of elevation, snow, rain, hail, surprise river crossings, and a fantastic time!!! We pray for you two every night!
