I did arrive safetly yesterday around 3:30pm. I knew I had to be getting close as I could see the snow capped mountains underneath the plane. They were stunning, and only one of many reminders that God has put on the earth of His power and mercy. To look at theose mountains, realizeing that He built them, He could cause them to crumble in an instant...and yet protects us from such devastation takes my breath away.
Although the trip was decently smooth and without tribulations, it made my heart happy to see the familiar faces of the Caldbecks who were to pick me up, and who I knew spoke english! The ride to the apartment provided some nice, worry-free downtime. For the first time all day I didn't have to think about what my next few steps would be. The towns are beautiful, and the architecture could captivate me endlessly.
The apartment space that I have been blessed with is gorgeous. I am currently sitting on my bed. I have the doors open to the balcony, from which I can see not only the city but the mountains as well. It is a simple room, but perfect. There is no tv in the apartment, but you would be amazed at how the lack of one can change the whole atmosphere. It's a much welcome change.
It feels like an early fall day in terms of New England weather. The sun is shining without a cloud interfering with the crystal clear blue sky. Laura, the girl that I am staying with, has invited me out with some aquaintences of hers for the day. It is a perfect day for a trip to the market, which is where we will be headed.
Ciao!
