the theme of today was, okay nights are over and we have some things to get done before hopping on a jet plane. It always feels good to get stuff (albeit painful stuff like bills, taxes, paperwork etc) done and out of the way. Now all I have to do is hop on the plane tomorrow! Im not packing much at all (one medium sized suitcase). I like it this way, more room to pick up local items and to focus more on the trip and the anticipation/excitement rather than lugging my whole wardrobe and personal goodies with me - I wanna get my shampoo from the same place the locals do! On another note, better to have one handful and one empty and ready to take up what God has in store - instead of having our hands full with junk that we just dont need (I heard a sermon on this yesterday and it was really convicting/and true! Wonderful Justin Schwartz gave me alot of advice tonight about my time in Santiago, since he and Kelli went last year. So I have now procured a metro card and international telephone compliments of Justin - thanks friend!
A shout out for a new Bham restaurtant - el barillo - on 2nd ave north - serves up authentic latin style food so some of us had drinks and dinner there tonight - I highly reccomend it - very hip, affordable, fresh fun! Thank you all for reading this so far - I promise to make it entertaining (well as much as I can, Im new at this!) XOXO marta
blessing to you!! I cannot wait to hear more and see where God leads you! Taylor
