3 Flights, 2 Foreign Exchange Students & 1 Llama

I made it to Sisters, Oregon.

My first flight took me to Chicago. I had Chicago-style pizza for breakfast at 9 AM :) Couldn't resist.

My second flight took me to Portland. I sat next to two foreign exchange students from the Dominican Republic. It was cool because I told them our church was sending a missions team there this summer. I also gave them copies of my book, ID: The True You. It was funny sitting next to them as they both read my book :) In fact, they would periodically laugh :) And I was thinking to myself, "What did I write that was so funny?" One reason I've wanted to write is for that very reason. It allows me to share my faith. My book is a very long tract :)

And then I got on this little jumper flight to Redmond, Oregon. I thought I was going to have to help it down the runway Flintstone style :) Seriously, the flight attendant got on the PA system and I'm thinking, "Why are you using that?" She actually said something about using the lavratory and then had to correct herself, "Wait, we don't have a lavratory." We all had to hold it. When I got on the airplane I almost felt like I should shake hands and learn the first names of everyone on board.

Anywho. I'm here.

By the way, you know you're no longer in DC when there are Llamas outside your hotel room. Here's a picture of Danny Boy. The one on the right!

What an adventure! How weird it must be to sit there while they're reading your book. You should have started reading to them out loud instead!

That is cool. I hear that llamas can spit pretty good, so be careful!

So is that a GUARD llama?
