Here's a fun idea -- take a person that hasn't driven since Jasper County, Indiana; put this person in a parking lot -- alone; and then see if this person can find her way through a very confusing city back to her hotel room. Oh! Don't forget to add torrential rain to this little recipe for disaster. I did make it back to the hotel, made only three wrong turns, and heard only one honking horn behind me, but I am sure that was just an enthusiastic toot of a greeting from one driver to another.

But of course before all this took place I took a picture of Rev.'s first day of school:

and then another that he didn't know I was taking:

Try to realize that these pictures were being taken by me under the other umbrella! I forgot a few things I wish I had here, but it is a good thing I remembered two umbrellas because it looks like they will be needed every day this week. Tomorrow I am going to try to find something touristy to do while Rev. sits in class. Has anyone reading this ever been to Charlotte? I am open to suggestions! (I will pass on the NASCAR Hall of Fame, thanks anyway...) If nothing else there is a Starbucks within walking distance of the hotel. That and a good book will do just fine. I will try to get better pictures of the seminary sometime when it is not raining.
