One week from now my bag will be packed. Thanks to the many people who have offered words of encouragement. Here is some additional information on CPT's work in Colombia. I'm all vaccinated now, and not suffering any ill effects. I've made my way through the pile of orientation materials and while it feels like I need a few more years to prepare thoroughly, I'm probably ready. I will do my best to post updates during the trip.
[For those who are curious, the half-marathon on June 24 was one of the wettest runs I've ever done, certainly the wettest race. But I'm glad I did it. After the up-and-down leading up to the Burrard Bridge, the bridge itself seemed like nothing much. Let's say it was the extra weight from wet clothes that slowed me down to 1:56. It was great to get picked up by Frieda, Mitchell & Kayla for a post-race meal at Granville Market. I'll try for another half on Sept.30 in Toronto. This one is flat, so should be faster!
The two weeks with family in Abbotsford also went well. It was good to see Mom and Dad in such good spirits. The Ratzlaff visit highlights included one of the best games of Kuh Handel ever (everyone ended with two sets!) and of course some marvelous moments on the dykes (still not sure if it was frogs or ducks singing in the slough). Ending with a visit to the island for Luke and Heather's wedding was a special plus.]
