Loud by Elyse (a pilgrim)
Hello everyone• This is our first day in Europe and we are just adjusting to the atmosphere. Our first stop was an authentic English[British] pub. Although some of us were adventurous when ordering our lunches, others of us were staying on the safe side[as in food we thought we knew from home!]. Even though this probably doesn’t count as a sign from God, a McDonalds balloon floated down from the sky and came to rest in my hand.
Anyway, the entire story was to tell you that we are slowly adjusting to the European atmosphere/culture (or maybe we are just admiring their accents!).
With this gentle introduction to the local culture, we are hoping that we can focus more on finding God, and not on the different culture(though that still is important). This is our first step to becoming pilgrims and not just loud Americans.Love you guys back home.
