My plan for yesterday was not exactly something that I would have chosen for myself... I was due to spend the day with a personal trainer who leads exercise classes around town. I was told to wear gym clothes. Need I say more?!
Luckily the first class was with a group of older ladies and so I got to feel quite smug about the fact that I was able to keep up. Spent the afternoon wandering the beach and had lunch with my host for the day Vanesa and her boyfriend (or here her 'pololo'), and then went to another class with a slightly younger crowd who were keeping up with the routine far better than I ever could.
This was all happening all across town, so we took about 4 buses (or 'migros') and these things called 'colectivos' which are a cross between a bus and a cab: car sized, but they take certain routes, and you share them with strangers.
In the evening I went to the alpha group at the church, and got a lift there with a couple who live on our road. It's nice to feel like I'm starting to build relationships here, not just leaning on Zelma, Exequiel, Danny and Ary.
Just to share a verse with you that I really enjoyed from last night. We were looking at the bible (duh?!), but more importantly why it's so crucial and how best to approach it.
"You search the Scriptures because you think that in them is eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life." John 5:39-40 ESV
Gotta dash, getting my first taste of office life today!
