Wearrived at Bahia 7 a.m. Satuday morning. Bicycle taxi took me and our luggage to the boat. Small boat taxi to St. Vincente, then taxi to Canoa. Rested Saturday.
Reflections from Judy journal: Wehave two rooms on ground level overlooking the Pacific ocean. Rooms are not that great - cold showers, thin sheets, soft mattresses and old towel. Outside is fabulous - 3 cabinas with hammnmocks and bamboo benches, coconut palms, flowers. A low key relaxingplace. Should be a good place to reflect if we don´t run away from that time and fill it with other things. After a good nights sleep, woke up to no electricity and no running water. I was dreading taking a cold shower, but I found I was angry that there was no water at all. I take these things for granted as givens rather than as gifts. I am obviously a spoiled American. The place is not quite what I expected but I do beleive that this is wehre are to be. This will provide the opportunity for some quality, close family time.
Ron: After waiting for 45 minutes for internet cafe, I have only 10 minutes till need to take 30 minute walk back to lunch. Terrible keyboard, so may be mistakes.
We have so much to be grateful for. Cold showers, windows, coconuts, mangos, returned appetite, health, children, familky, new friends. It´s a bit harder to be thankful for roaches, spiders, bugs, cold showers, soft sinking beds, but there is so much to praise the Lord!
Love to all.

Hey Ron, Judy, Justin, Janelle and Jess, it is so much fun reading your journal entries. I have not got all of them but some of them. What an incredible God we have. You are indeed experiencing first hand the diversity of his nature. Everything he has made is good. Enjoy being in his presence even when there is no running water or any water at all for bathing. My shoulder is slowly healing. 4 more weeks in the sling then hopefully they can do surgery on the right arm sometime soon after the 10th of August. I am also experiencing a sabbatical of a different kind. We love you all. Joe and Yvonne plus the family. Phil. 3:13-16 (Live up to what you have already attained) God is good
Dear Ron, Judy, Justin, Janelle, and Jessica: What a great experience you are having -- once-in-a-lifetime with everyone at this age! Keep blessing others as you are blessed. We are praying for you and are looking forward to seeing you next month! Grandma keeps sharing how much she appreciates reading your stories and follows you every day! Lot of love, Lois Ann, Lemar, Kathy, Liz, and Dan Mast
