Valladolid

I got here on Friday a little after 10. On the fast train it was about an hour away. They are having a festival this weekend and I'm staying with Bethany and her family. It's so nice to have one of my best friends here. Always great to see a familiar face! Anywho this festival. Basically a bunch of performing groups come to do their shows. Some of them do comedy or crazy acrobatics. It was cool to watch but some of them dragged on too long and this was not due to my short attention span.

It's been so good to see Bethany and explore a little and go out. Because I am with the kids the majority of the time this is the first chance ice really had to do so. I had tapas for the first time last night and they were awesome! If I wasn't technologically challenged and knew how to put pictures on here I would show you the one I took of my first tapas and sangria!

Tomorrow we are going to try to find this English speaking church and go there, then shop and eat and then I go home. When i get to madrid I am taking the metro from Madrid to arganda so hopefully I don't get lost. I am very grateful that I got to come here. And that Bethany is coming to see and stay with me next weekend. We both have very hospitable families here! It's 3 in the a.m. here and I am falling asleep. It is encouraging to see how many lovely people there are in the world. Even though there is a lot of bad stuff, there will always be good people. After all, we are. Reared in God's image and what a splendid God he is.
