A nice getaway

Recently, we enjoyed spending a little over a week in the big city. Our company put on a retreat to help us recharge and refocus. The added bonus for us was that our fellowship in Texas helped facilitate the retreat. We were able to see several of our friends and three of them even traveled back to our city for a few days afterwards. Shane, his wife, Sylvia, and Carol stayed with us for about 48 hours before returning to the States. The last picture is us with "the Amy Nobles." We knew her before she was on iTunes.
Our time consisted of shopping in real malls, drinking Starbucks, eating fast food, speaking English, meetings with teammates, more shopping, seeing friends from Texas, and going to the movies. It was a great time and it will hopefully help us get through the long upcoming winter.

Scenes from the Spice Bazaar

One of our favorite things to do when we go to the big city
is to stroll through the Spice Bazaar and take in the rich
blend of smells while tasting free samples of "delightful" candy.

Eight bucks for crap cakes!?!

They were much better than you would have expected.
