We're in Waterloo, bunked down in the residence at Conrad Grebel University College, the Mennonite church college affiliated with the University of Waterloo. Our course begins at 9 this morning, so we came yesterday and got settled in -- couldn't face a long early morning drive followed by class from 9 to 5. Took a picture from our window -- please bear with me since the screen and the sun were playing games this morning. I'll try again later, but in the meantime ....
That's the university library in the distance. When I was a student here (back in the dark ages!) the rumour was that the library was sinking by inches each year because the architect hadn't included the weight of the books in his calculations. It's still here, and still above ground some 30+ years later, so I guess they were wrong!
Guess where we'll be eating lunch? Those tables are right outside the cafeteria at Conrad Grebel (or Grebel, at they seem to call it -- we used to call it Connie G). The cafeteria is directly below the residence rooms -- handy location!The building in the background is St. Paul's, the United Church affiliated college and my former home away from home.
And now, it's time to get ready for breakfast!
Today's reading: Isaiah 26:5-29:1
