from Heathrow

We've finally got a few moments to catch our breath while waiting for flights at Heathrow, so I thought I'd put my two cents in (that's 1.4p in GBP :P ).

How do you pack for a trip which includes flights from near-zero tempratures, a week in a big city in summer which includes a meeting with the Bishop, a week at camping in the Patagonian mountains (read: hot during the day, cold at night), and a week... well we're not quite sure where we'll be by the third week of our trip?! The end result is three suitcases jam-packed with everything from ski jackets to flip flops.

This trip is an adventure already and we've already experienced wonderful hospitality from the Argentinan churches. With a few short weeks of letting them know that we'd be coming, we've been supplied with someone to pick us up from the airport (on a public holiday, no less), hotel and travel reservations, people to show us around the city, take us to church, supply us with camping equipment, and host us. What a gift! I'm sure that we have will have a lot to learn from this Argentinian counterparts and we can't wait to arrive and start getting to know the people there.

Next stop... Washington Dulles airport. It'll be good to be home- at least for a couple of hours!
