Grannies on a Mission: Day of Rest

Sunday, February 3

Sunday was pretty uneventful. We were very tired and it was hot. Ruth and I took the opportunity to ride in the back of the truck one more time. Our week was so full of adventures that when writing this blog we would have to look at pictures and our schedule to remember the things we did.

We emptied our suitcases and the last of the gifts were given to our hostess' and friends.

Howie attended Sunday services with us. The last time he attended church here was the day after Carrie and Eddy's wedding (August 2011).

Ruth packed up her suitcase and said her goodbyes, she will be returning home early Monday morning.

Eddy and Carrie brought Grannie Ruth to the airport at 6:30 am. I must be getting used to the roosters and chickens and street music. Saturday night we had 3 parties on the block and the noise was unbelievable!

Eddy and Howie went to the hardware store and then did some small improvements at the school. I unpacked another suitcase of Carrie's supplies. There is no end to those suitcases!

At noon we went home, packed up our suitcases and traveled 2 hours to Cabarete. We have combined our Granny mission trip with our winter vacation. We rented a condo on the beach. Carrie has stayed at these condos before with some of the SCS teachers. We are enjoying the hot showers and washing machine and dryer. Cabarete beach is known for their kite surfing and has mostly European visitors. I would recommend our condo to anyone.

Friday afternoon we will be driving back to Santiago. We hope to stop at school to say our goodbyes. Our flight leaves early Saturday morning.
