Take your wife to work day!

This week Ruth had a day off from school for Reformation Day (Yes, one may have to travel to Lebanon to find a legitimate Reformation Day remembrance) and rather than sleep in she got up early to join me at the New Horizons Center.  It was her first chance to meet the kids and staff of the program and their first chance to meet Ruth.  She was quite a hit among all and I’m anticipating disappointment in future weeks when I turn up alone.   The day gave her a chance to see the different challenges facing the children as well as opportunities to impact some special lives.  

 It wasn’t all business.  Saida is a wonderful seaside down with castle ruins, old markets, and delicious fresh fish.  We took our time getting home and enjoyed a little day out in the old city.

 

 Carpentry at the old market.  A certain carpenter once visited Saida a couple thousand years ago! 

One can easily get lost in the maze of narrow rows and tunnels.

 We love old stairs...

and doors!
