Another relaxing morning on a beautiful day. The mountains were cloud covered at first but cleared into the morning. We caught a cab a few hundred yards from Mike's place; he took us to Curves for $3.00 (probably 50 cents to a dollar too much, but we are Gringos and it's still a great deal if compared to U.S. prices! Curves workout is a little different from the U.S., but Jenny had personalized assistance from her own circuit coach.
We hooked up with Jeff and Deeanne (sp?) Davoll; they are ABWE missionaries in Cumbaya. We went to their church (actually a space inside a medical building) where we'll attend when we return from Cuenca next week. They are having a Gringo get-together on the 4th of July; we are invited and will attend (food!! LOL)! They were so very gracious to then spend the entire afternoon with us, showing us around Tumbaco, Cumbaya, and even Quito! They took us to a very special spot overlooking the entire valley; they call it their prayer spot because they can look out over the entire valley and pray for the people who are without Christ. We ate lunch at a restaurant in Tumbaco, where we ate quesadillas. For dinner, we ate at La Union Panaderia y Pasteleria, in Quito, near the hostal where we'll stay when we return to Quito next Thursday. For the four of us, it costed $9.25! Acually, we had desserts and capupucinnno and yummy pastries!
Deanne then took us to an open market where Jenny found lots of neat stuff, including a beautiful alpaca sweater, a blouse, two alpaca scarves, two table runners, and a purse. Glad Deanne was with us because she was able to bargain for great prices. They then brought us "home"! God is richly blessing them and their ministries; we certainly see where and how God could use us here.
It's almost 9:30 p.m., we're tired after a very enjoyable day. We have to pack and be ready to leave in the morning around 8:45 for our flight to Cuenca.
Until tomorrow night, or later!
