This post is a bit late (or early, depending on your time zone) because I could not access the Internet last night. Now I can and all is well.

Wednesday is the day I teach a bit on several key periods of missionary activity in church history. One thing that helps us keep focused, even as we near the end of our time here and are tired, is that so much of this history has to do with people and places not far from where we are. I always say that I teach some of this same material in Kansas City, but it is totally different when heard here. I asked this morning if that was true and the response was immediate and positive.

Wednesday afternoon we went on our public transportation adventure to a castle near the city of Utrecht. It involved riding a tram to the train station, a train ride to Utrecht, a 35 minute bus ride to the de Haar and a 20 minute walk to actually get to the castle. I am always amused to watch people’s reactions as they catch a glimpse of the castle for the first time.  Since the Netherlands is mostly flat, you don’t see the castle until you are right up on it.

I am writing this early Thursday and will try to give you an update on how things went today later.
