Wow, I was seriously devoid of all interest last post......

So sorry about that.....

but I can update you on a couple things that have been amusing lately....

Thing one......the first night that one of my team members was in Italy, who from now on we will call him "Bob" for all constructive purposes of this story, he had to sleep outside......the door of the apartment locked as well as the porch door and he had no way of getting into the apartment ALL NIGHT......it gets cold at night! Many objects on the porch were used for not their intended purpose, but all definitely to the bemusement of all of us after the fact.......so go bob for braving the elements and having the GREATEST first night in italy story EVER!

And in the "team adventure" category....

We were trying to find things to "buy" for our apartment......I put quotations around it because, at the present moment, we have nowhere to put said things.......so it was suggested that we go outside Salerno to the big "Wal-Mart" type place, called Carrefour......well, we get on a number 8, and get off when we see a Carrefour sign and think we know where it is......after an hour and 15 minutes of walking THROUGH the town of Pontecagnano at 3pm on a HOT Italy day.....we finally get there (of course, after seeing a number 8 pass us, thus frustrating us more)......and needless to say, I bought 3 drink-like substances to quench my hugemongous thirst after all that walking.......and now we know that we don't "Carrefour" for the Carrefour :)

And on a side note, we all went out for lunch on thursday and we got so confused when we paid.......which produced this quote....

"He stole our money!........wait....we didn't pay for lunch!"

now that's what I call an entertaining post....

:)

Hey kat, did you know...fun fact... carrefour came from france and in french it means crossroads or intersection.. I think they put them on the edge of town so they can be at city intersections... like between cities not in cities. :-) glad you are back there. praying for you again this year!

way to tell it like it is Kat - your account of the adventures makes me laugh.
