More Adventures!

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST!
Please remeber Janae and I today between 3 p.m. (mountain time) and 6 p.m. (mountain time) (That is 4 & 7 p.m. for central time). Part of our next phase is to go out to some places after 11 p.m. and after 12:30 a.m., that's right, two girls exploring things at night in a foreign land! Pray for safety and confidence, we both would never do this where we live in the States without a male escort, so this is definetly out of our comfort zones!

Thanks for your prayers, I will let you know how it all goes and what we experience. I will also post at a later date what the rest of our phase 2 assignment is. I will not be back on until probably Monday... so have a great weekend and thanks for the prayers! Enjoy the LONG list of pictures! Remember: God is good!

Yesterday we walked around and found a 'ascensore' (elevator) that takes people to another level of the city (Genova is on the coast and it is a very mountainous city!) It was a great view of the entire city and coast.


This is a picture of Genova from the 'ascensore'. A very beautiful city!


Genova is slightly overwhelming, huh? Yeah, we think so too!!


The intersectin to the left of the tower in this picture is what we walk through on our way to Italian school, Monday-Friday.

One of the first things I noticed as we rode in the taxi from the airport to the appartment was the trees. There are palm trees, and there are evergreen trees! Interesting... hope you can see the trees in this picture...


These window shades are on virtually all the windows here. I really think they look like lego windows!! :) Ruth, Heidi, Samuel and Peter will know what I mean!




These clothelines are outside of every building, we wonder what happens if you accidently drop your clothes when hanging them to dry on the 7th floor? haha



More common than the 'ascensore' (elevators) are these step paths or the sloping driveways... so lots of exercise!


Janae & I at the 'ascensore' looking out at the beautiful port city of Genova!


One of the beautiful places we discovered yesterday as we were searching for the train. We were actually on the other side of the street and happened to glance through a bland colored arch to these bright, brilliant colors!
