Subject: Update 22

We were headed to Old San Juan by 7:30 a.m and arrived just as the door to El Morro opened .  We walked the worn fort that has seen 3 major wars as I wondered why man always seems to be fighting each other.  Rog drove us to the perfect spot near the airport for lunch...ocean view with local cuisine.  Here the sand was like sawdust & a lagoon beckoned us in.  Juli reflected on her experience saying she found people kind, grateful and loving.  She was touched by the church service especially when they prayed over us.  She loved the almost daily rainbows...sometimes doubles...and especially the extremely vivid one we saw on our last day on our way to Old San Juan.  A nice thank you from above?!
After we dropped Juli off at the airport, we headed back for a long leisurely beach walk before Sarah needed to leave.  Then it was just the two of us...it'd been almost a month!
  we had to stop to renew our car rental & then stopped at a Wendy's to use their WiFi...and get a DCoke.  We'd try to set up a place for tonight yesterday but with spotty internet...nothing was confirmed yet.  Just as we sat down, I noticed a man with an All Hands shirt on sitting by the bus stop.  We went over to say hi.  Turns out he'd been waiting for 2 hours to catch a bus to the airport. His flight home to Tennessee was in less 1 1/2 hrs.  We grabbed our stuff, he jumped in the back seat and off to the airport we went again.  As he waved goodbye, my phone bonged indicating a new message...our reservations for tonight were confirmed.  A God wink as my sister, Beth would say!  
After Google map sent us on a goose chase, a local set us straight.  So I'm sitting here by a pool listening to the ocean waves and finally getting caught up on my writing.
  So much has happened this last month that it overwhelms me with gratitude and fills my soul.  Amen.
