At the beginning of April, we went to Guayaquil to visit some Norwegian missionary friends that live there. We were planning to go by bus, and as we were waiting, we met some nuns who were also going to Guayaquil. We passed up one bus that has a bad safety reputation, and the next bus was full, and as the time passed, we started to wonder if we were going to make in, when the nuns suddenly said "We're driving and you will come with us." (in Spanish) So, we did. They got a truck, and it was an interesting ride through the storms down the mountains! It got more interesting as we realized they didn't really know the city, so there were a few tense moments sitting on the side of the highway and driving through traffic until our hosts came to pick us up in a convent. We were only in the city for a short weekend, but we were able to visit some of the city's highlights, attend church in Spanish, and had great times of visiting with friends.
After returning early Monday morning (by bus), we were back to work at school, and Seth was busy preparing the goose for a birthday dinner, from live goose in the yard to dinner table. We had some friends over to celebrate Jen's and Atle's birthday and had an enjoyable evening.
