25/60



So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. - 2 Corinthians 4:16

Today was a beautiful day of renewal being surrounded by love and beauty. The day started quiet with a breakfast made by the woman who lives the floor above us. After that, some slept, some went down to the water to try to fish or nap. The water is a 30 second walk from our front door which is amazing. I don’t feel entirely claustrophobic from the surrounding mountains because of the beautiful water. 

Once the morning passed with minimal movement and lots of reading and thinking time, we ventured into town, not really looking for anything specifically. Someone got a haircut, another a 1,80 euro sandwich that would embarrass Subway back in the states. 

We ended up walking about five miles to the other side of the bay seeing the more touristy/urban/rundown side of the town. We ended up walking to a church that is directly across from our house so it was amazing to see that perspective. The church also had a very special view of the bay as it opens up into the larger sea. It is so uniquely beautiful in this Bay Area and the mountains are nothing like the ones I’m familiar with in Colorado!

After a run in the rain on our way back, we stopped and got food for diner, swam in the water, and took showers. We then made dinner (didn’t burn down the house!) the rest of the night was consumed by great talks, lots of cards, and grape juice.

Wow *pronouced vov*
