8/15/14: Day 166: Bye Gainesville

Carlos came by the house at 8:30 and took Lucky to do the zip lines. I stayed back with Della and rested a bit. At 12:30 Della and I went to Apaneca to get Lucky because she was finished. We decided to drive around Apaneca to see if there was anything for rent. As we were looking we found a cool restaurant / hotel / museum. They served Italian food and had a large collection of Starwars and Xmen figurines. The owner spoke fluent English, Spanish, and Italian. He said this was his personal collection from over several years. His prices were good but we had already eaten lunch so I hope to go back soon! We attended the bible study in Triunfo from 5:30 till 6:45 with five other members from Gainesville. After the study I went back to the house to get Della and we all ate together with Gainesville at the same restaurant that I celebrated my anniversary at Wednesday. This was the goodbye dinner. I feel I have made close friends and I was greatly encouraged over just this one short week that they were here with us. I hope to keep in contact with them and see them again soon! During dinner we received news that Warner’s (the preacher at Ciudad Real) mother-in-law had passed away. So after saying goodbye to everyone, Della, Lucky, and I drove to Ciudad Real to give our condolences. We arrived back home about 1:20 AM.
