Day 2’s end.
It was a little criminal to be in the historic city of Rome and not see any sites. But seven members of the RESTORE team were simply glad to be across the Atlantic and on European soil at last. Truimph over an unruly volcano! There was something organic about landing with uncharged cell phones and no internet access. Simply a pre arranged meeting point and the hope of familiar faces. It worked! Mark, Carrie, & Jessica easily found their fellow travelers.
Fifteen hours on an overnight train after a Trans Atlantic crossing is only redeemable with a sleeper car. The seven of us piled into three compartments and gave our eyes and weary bodies a rest. With the train’s journey ending in Paris there was no lingering thought of oversleeping our stop. So we slept!
As to Day 2’s RESTORE work, Mark finished writing the CD’s insert and finalized interview questions for our camera guys. Jessica relieved her outbox of emails informing our European counter parts of our late arrival into London and of our thrown schedule. Carrie chased up Perry’s original flight, managed to cancel her lost credit card, and responded with a resounding ‘yes’ to the offer of a French prayer for Lisieux’s concert recording. We also received word just before the Iphone lost power that Klara arrives in London via bus, noon on Wednesday. Lastly the very generous South London pastor who is lending us a rehearsal room now knows of our travel delay. All we lack is arrival confirmation from Beijing based Curtis and David coming up out of Hong Kong.
