Italy Day 4

This was our first full day in Ancona. We woke up here and we will sleep here. No traveling. The morning started with the sound of children playing. We woke up and got to hang out with the Caseys and their children, who are wonderful, and a whole lot of fun. After the morning, we got to see some sites in Ancona.



We saw a beautiful view of the city, and went down to a monument that was not only in the center of town but also right beside the sea. Harrison (The Casey's youngest) and I went on a lizard hunt...not a whole lot of success on that front, but he did find a rock that he liked good enough to keep.



After our little tour, we went back to the Caseys where Heather made a great lunch for us and the whole Ancona team. We got to just sit and fellowship and learn from the experience of some really neat people.



In the evening we went to the Ancona team's church service. It was awesome to see the body worshiping together abnd bulding each other up in the heart of the city. The potluck dinner at the end of the service wasn't too shabby either. We wouldn't mind having to do that every week. We continue to be treated like family whervever we go from Americans, Italians, Strangers, Friends, Christian brothers and sisters.

Yeah, I remember that monument. I almost killed myself on it! I was too busy talking to Matt and Angie to realize that my next step was on thin air! Luckily, the drop was only four feet or so and I landed upright!

Oh, yes, and lunch together every Sunday afternoon sounds terrific! Let's do it!
