Yesterday was a long day of travel—MSP to ATL; ATL to Guatemala City—but Steve had booked us in business class, so it could have been worse than it was. Lunch was an antipasto plate with artichoke heart, cheese, salami, cold asparagus, etc. Very nice. Dinner was nicely seasoned chicken whose juices flavored a mixture of potatoes, onions, etc.
I watched the Christopher Robin movie, but it was kind of weird. “Based on” was all they could say. Totally fictional story that reminded me of Hook in the plot of over-worked dad who needs to get back to his childhood roots to relate to his daughter. They treated “Robin” like it was Christopher’s last name, calling him “Mr. Robin” at work. But the animals were nice and in character, and there were a couple joyful frolic scenes. But I wouldn’t watch it again. What I really wanted was the movie about A. A. Milne and his relationship with his son.
We arrived about 8:30 at night—same time zone as home. THAT is very nice. In the airport I saw several women in colorful traditional dress like it was their ordinary get-dressed-up-to-go-to-the-airport dress. You don’t see that in Minnesota.
Steve’s friend Paul picked us up and brought us to a guest room at SETECA—Evangelical Theological Seminary of Central America. The campus is a maze of beautiful courtyards.
We have a three-bedroom suite with bath, sitting room/kitchenette and tiny bedroom located behind this neatly trimmed tree. We didn’t kick each other out of the double bed last night, and the bed was nice a firm, just how we like it.
Today Steve is off to teach a faculty workshop. I will stay here, explore a little and do some thinking on paper about my new book project.
