We saw bears!!!!!!

Look! Bears!!!! On the side of the road!  

Now we have your attention, they're not real. We thought they were when Isaac spotted them while we were driving to Tom and Carolyn's cottage in the woods.

Anyway, a good friend of ours from home gave us a prophetic word about this trip. He felt God was saying,

'Agenda-shmenda! This trip will be like a roller-coaster with Jesus, just hold on and enjoy the ride!'.

I pray we can live all our lives like that.

We've just arrived in Washington DC and here's the place we're staying - Andrews House. It's the hospitality house of Church of the Saviour. This is a 'co-operative' of faith communities which has evolved from an original mother church.

We were very sad to say goodbye to Rose, Tom and Carolyn in Allentown we loved....

playing fun games...

posing for photos with Sophie (that's Noah's dog in the middle)...

...staying at the Albright's cottage by a lake...

...boating (Var thought he saw an Anaconda in there but it's unlikely)...

...seeing cool lorries (trucks)...

...visiting Jim Thorpe (that's a town with nose-high railings)...

...going on an old train...

... looking cute (ish)

... well, very cute...

...weird ticket inspectors though!!!

...playing badmington...

... and waiting for Var to barbaque the steaks.

Finally, we met our friends, Gay and Rich from Souderton (Philadelphia) again and they drove us down here to Washington!!! It was so great to catch up with them again and they really blessed us by getting us here (it would have been pretty strenuous on public tarnsport!!!).

So we'll see what happens here now.
But to all our friends and family, old and new...
