Finally an update to anyone still checking the blog!

We've been living in Southborough at L'abri for almost 3 weeks now! There's about 15 other guys and gals living with us in the 19th century Massachusetts Mansion! So far it's been a pretty neat experience and we've met some interesting people! For those of you who we haven't explained L'abri to, we're not going to now. or ever. it's too hard to explain. essentially we're living in a commune out here. Our day consists of individual study time, household and outdoor work, 3 meals, lots of tea breaks and the odd lecture and discussion. We quite enjoy the pace as it is relatively slow. everyone's pretty relaxed, and the people that run the show have a good attidue about life.

we've included some pictures here for your viewing pleasure. please be pleasured.


All in all we're enjoying ourselves. time seems to be going be slow and fast at the same time. it doesn't feel like we've been here all that long, but time is flying. at the same time.

p.s. bonnie kaack, everyone here who knits thinks your slippers are incredible, and those who don't knit, agree.

I bet you thought we flaked out and stopped blogging, didn't you

So we don't have an internet connection at L'abri. Your patience is appreciated as we figure out a plan...

Boston

We've been in Boston for a couple days now. We're staying at some friends of mine (Jeff) here, Eric is attending seminary just north of Boston. Last night we got to see Ryan Adams in concert. It was a killer show. Absolutely stellar. Today we enjoyed being able to sleep in this morning and being in one place for more than one night. Austen and I took a little trip into Boston- strolled around Harvard drove around downtown, made our way out to the airport, etc. etc.

Anna has made it in safe and sound and seems to have had a good first flight experience. We head out to L'abri tomorrow so this could be the last post for a few days, we'll see.

Kingston: In Pictures

Kingston: Canada's best kept secret

After a wonderful day of travelling and visiting Austen's friends, we made it to our destination of Kingston, Ontario. We made stops in Detroit, a lovely visit with Laurie in London, and we got to see Austen's friend Rob in Toronto. We were greeted in Kingston by Austen's relatives and a dynamite meal prepared by Marlene. It really hit the spot after a long day on the road. After supper and light table talk, we took a fun walk around of Kingston lead by Joel, with many interesting facts included. Kingston is sweet. Did you know it is Canada's original choice for capital city? Neither of us did.

Ironically the pictures of Kingston will be on the next post, as the ones we had got accidentily deleted... so we're taking more in the morning. stay tuned. and don't be afraid to comment, it's twelve o'clock and no one has even acknowledged that we blogged last night. at a very late hour. a little encouragement please and thank you.

Greetings from Ann Arbor

We drove nearly 500 miles today from Minneapolis to Ann Arbor, Michigan. Stopping for fuel at various locations and lunch in Janesville, DQ of course. We conquered the mighty Chicago, it was no problem. Although we did inch along in rush hour for about an hour...

The trip is going well so far. The roads are good and the traffic is fair. Our plan is to hit up London, Toronto, and Kingston tomorrow. We'll stay at Austen's relatives in Kingston for the night!

We apologize for the lack of exciting-ness in this blog. We rolled into Ann Arbor pretty late and are planning to get and early start tomorrow. sooooo this is just a temporary blog to tide you over till tomorrow, when we will blog for real.

Anyhow, tell your friends the blog is back. and if you get a chance call Austen's mom, Karen, tomorrow. it's her birthday. seriously, call her.
