On the Boring Side

Friday, December 14, 2007

Today seemed very short – in it we spent some time at the beach, and also took the bus to go to the nearest place with internet. We missed the first bus coming back, so we stayed and looked around a little bit more until the next bus came. We left Tobias behind because he was still busy doing something or other else, but he managed to come back with no difficulty. Anyway we then came back and after spending some time at the beach we came up to eat and then had some time to waste doing what we wanted. After some time of that we went to this little “water park” thing which consisted of 2 water slides, but one of them was pretty great, although it was small, it went real fast. The guys became quite adventurous with it and tried all the tricks they could possibly think of, and amazingly enough all came through quite unscathed. Occasionally you would hear a resounding “Owwwch!” when they would come up from the watery depths, generally from the mouth of Kestas, who seemed to recieve the most pain of all from the various attempts that were made. After some time of fun, the majority of us moved on to the beach where we engaged in chicken fights, and others were thrown about by some of the others, doing flips, etc.

When we came up from the beach we were informed of a worship we had to go to which was starting at 6pm, approximately 30 minutes away. All of us had to get showers, and so we rushed as fast as we could to get ready. We were told that there was going to be a vehicle waiting for us, and so when we were ready we set off to find it, but we thought the gate was locked, so we walked all the way around to the other gate that we thought we would be open. It wasn't, and then we were informed that the gate wasn't actually locked, the padlock was just sitting there still open. So we went all the way around again, and went out. The vehicle wasn't there, so we began to walk, and ended up walking all the way there. (It was fairly close, perhaps a kilometre or so.) The church was very nice, and a fairly good size as well, and there were quite a few people in attendance. Their worships seemed to be like a typical vespers that we hold on Saturday night – consisting of games and short thoughts/verses/songs. It was a nice time although rather different than what we were expecting, but it was in a pleasant way.

Sooo, that just about sums up today – kind of boring I must say.
