The hat of destiny

We have arrived in chillan on the train. It was a smooth trip and we arrived on time. The scenery was great and even got a little snooze on the train.

Once we got to chillan, we were hungry and stoped at a restaurant to eat. It was at the end of lunch and they didn't have much at the vegetarian buffet so we decided to stop at the market and get food.

It is a little cool here in Chile. It was 44 degrees when we got off the plane and 70 degrees now. Tito has been lamenting the fact that he didn't bring a warm hat for his head (for those that haven't meet Tito, he shaves his head, so it can get cold). As we entered the open part of the market, Tito saw a shop selling woolen hat and bought one for his cabeza de frio (cold head). It is quite fashionable and we will have to post a picture whe we get back.

Tito and his new hat

We got some bread and fruit. Tito got some cheese, even with the warning of the cheese that launched a 100 IVs last year. We are sitting on the bus now for our third leg of the journey to Cabrero. It is only an hour bus ride.

We have had no less than 10 different vendors come on the bus trying to sell things. Tito really wanted the little phone book with cool pens, but resisted.

When we get there, we will go to the hotel and then go around the town and see the site where we will construct the church.

More later.

Hey Guys,

Praising the Lord for your safe travels. Wow, 44 degrees! Glad Pastor Tito found a hat for his cold head :0 Can't wait to see pictures. So, many Vendors--does that mean 'happy gifts' for the Rach, Rach?

You both are in our prayers. Love, Rach
