Hello everyone back home!
We had a long overnight flight, and were collected from the Miami airport shortly before lunch this morning. While we were waiting for our ride, I stayed in the airport with the baggage while Esther, John, Nicole, & Marlissa rushed outside to take a look at our new surroundings.
Sweaters were discarded, humid, damp air inhaled, and palm trees along the sidewalks gawked at.
We were met by several young ladies from CCBR who run this week, and we piled into their vans.
People in Florida do not know how to drive. The only people using direction indicators were the drivers of the vans we were riding in, and the freeways are like a great big free-for-all. Cutting people off is perfectly ordinary, as is leaning on your horn every couple seconds.
Luckily, we made it to the Miami Everglades Resort without a scratch, and were shown to our cabins. The resort is a large facility like a campground, with some cabins, though mostly filled with parked RVs from vacationers who stay here all winter.
We are sharing a big cabin full of bunks with most of the other girls, some of whom are yet to arrive.
We lost no time getting into our swimsuits and spending time in the pool.
Esther ad I caught up on some sleep this afternoon and took some pictures of the weird trees and plants.
Now, it's nearly supper time, and were going to get some more sleep, in preparation for our first training day tomorrow!
Hope you all are doing well, and thank you for your prayers and support!
