Rain, Sleet, Snow, Fog
... therefore) it has all been good. Whether losing the battle with wind and rain (my umbrella did not fare well); being pelted with sleet and snow or socked in by fog, I’ve made a great time of it all. Coming from the desert--and an unusually dry one this fall—I’ve embraced whatever weather the gods have in store for us with aplomb (OK, maybe “reluctantly accepted” is closer to the truth).

When we went down for breakfast we walked into the middle of a spirited theological discussion between a couple from the US and a couple from Namibia, which became even more interesting as we joined it and in the end a couple from Singapore.
