I ended up just looking at a map and saying “Hey, what’s that bit of land sticking into Lake Huron?” Turns out that is Bruce Peninsula. We started reading up on it and chose it as our destination. <div><br /></div><div>Ann and David took a several-day trip to get there, but Terry and I decided to drive it in a day in our campervan. It was a VERY LONG day! Our camping spot was on Cyprus Lake, just a short walk inland from Lake Huron.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEb87BcsRVAhlZIEXIsMUx8czsOlzh4NtA8JNyiEWUjfAyQpgAtsxczg_p-VOvJsKUdDxhT3PKmKCwJ1YJ14VyvHJP3fWt7bNAHjg_Q-xMHM9nrNDZV9MjCqQ6PzlcCckzeWjHma67DcrYLfz9t2aTk-6ZEGayGdvawJ0dwzlTEMB_D4-SO-a_RnVZw6SN/s4032/IMG_0071.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em;

Terry said it was way too far to drive! We did have mostly great weather. Most of the fall leaves were on the drive up to the peninsula and not on the peninsula itself, where there were mostly evergreens. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">*I must share a story about one of our games while it is still on my mind. I want to remember this years from now. Ann and I have been playing this game since childhood, but in this game we made back-to-back unbelievably bad moves. Followed by a little gift from God. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here's how it happened. I was one card away from a natural canasta. Ann discarded that card to me (big mistake), I didn't pick it up (even bigger mistake), and then the play went to David and Terry. Ann picked up the deck on Terry's discard and got her card back. I commented how we all knew that there was one more card like that still in play. It was obvious that the guys didn't have it. I said out loud that I wasn't going to pray for God to let me draw that card, but if He just wanted to show me how much He loved me, that would be great. I then proceeded to draw that very card! We were all a bit stunned. All I could say was "He loves me. Wow! I knew it, but it seems He just wanted to tell me." <br /><br /><br /></div>Susan Seamanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04583618075166846674noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740462758538049461.post-63677030777117078322023-08-18T14:53:00.001-04:002023-09-12T13:58:43.829-04:00Gran Intensive Practicum<p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">My “grandma intensive practicum” a few weeks ago.

have decided NOT to go to Cannes - rather the kids decided - and it seems silly
for me to be the one being the celebrity chaser.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why do I always like the idea of seeing
someone famous? <br />
<br />We all like this place we’re staying.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s sort of small, but we finally have a room where we can hang out
together and watch TV.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We watched
“Murder Mystery” when we arrived as it is based in Monte Carlo and Lake
Como.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we drove downtown to BuBu
Burger, which we heard about on a YouTube video describing its wonderful smash
burgers!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were really good -
especially for somebody like me who likes their meat well-cooked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all agreed that if those burgers could be
made to order with our favorite ingredients, they would be the best burgers in
the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And we were served by the guy

It was so picturesque! The hike was named Mala Osjnica, and it was just 1.1 miles, though pretty much all uphill. It gave an excellent view of the alpine lake with an iconic church on an island in the middle (did people have to row out to worship?)</p><p>We enjoyed the view and then returned to lake level for some famous Lake Bled cake. We saw lots of rowers and runners that were part of a race.

I only knew it was a formerly Communist country. When I was in geography class in school, we saw filmstrips of beautiful Western Europe, but Eastern Europe was a mystery - I assumed full of factories and ugly apartment buildings. That is definitely NOT the case for Slovenia. </span></div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Slovenia is </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">BEAUTIFUL</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">, though I kept hoping to see more of the snow-capped mountains peeking through the cloud cover. </span></div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Interestingly, the owner of the AirBnB we are staying at is a retired diplomat. He invited us in for a drink and said “I must say this. I have been a Communist, and it was terrible. I am very concerned that America is leaning towards socialism. Please, America, do NOT do this!” </div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">We stayed in a little town called Brezje. Got a little lost trying to find our place which was a bunkhouse in a converted barn. You had to go outside to the bathroom and shower area, and there was no heat. But we all slept well there!</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Our first hike in Slovenia was to the Mostnica Gorge/Voje Waterfall in Triglavski National Park.

were supposed to visit Lake Plitvice, but it was pouring rain and we knew the
lower lakes were closed (where all the magic is with the paths right next to

we would see the big falls from an overlook just outside the park (Terry and I
scoped it out first) and then visit the town of Slunj-Rastoke, which our host
suggested. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Dreaming Outloud Script Pro";"><b>The Overlook</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Dreaming Outloud Script Pro";"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCcSP94f3F3iVdHnEVau4DMNTl3enfQE5UUemo90ymI_n2YQgVz0s6IpnkUt-SFT8fj8Ubb7GETHodLTn2cV1ioMUeo0JMzSDawK2-cJhoLxN3JB4GeW2cGpqIXGNIR-mvsQO2RolYLipUHWa1JbTJiDgfY7nUjdvYdq2Yrip7fEwKa06filTXyeuD56nD/s4032/IMG_8070.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCcSP94f3F3iVdHnEVau4DMNTl3enfQE5UUemo90ymI_n2YQgVz0s6IpnkUt-SFT8fj8Ubb7GETHodLTn2cV1ioMUeo0JMzSDawK2-cJhoLxN3JB4GeW2cGpqIXGNIR-mvsQO2RolYLipUHWa1JbTJiDgfY7nUjdvYdq2Yrip7fEwKa06filTXyeuD56nD/w400-h300/IMG_8070.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">So much water!

This is a huge warehouse in a former car dealership near the Gulf of Yera. Donations pour in from all over Europe - especially the Netherlands which is definitely over-represented in generosity in terms of giving money and volunteers to this cause (and nobody has really figured out why). </span></span></p><p><span color="var(--primary-text)" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The donations in the warehouse must be sorted and packaged for giving to the </span><a style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: verdana; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space-collapse: preserve;" tabindex="-1"></a><span color="var(--primary-text)" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space-collapse: preserve;">refugees. New arrivals get a clothing “burrito”, shoes, and a hygiene kit. Most come here with the clothes on their back and a cell phone. </span></p><p><span color="var(--primary-text)" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Giveaways at camp must be treated with great care. You must not give away items (like teakettles or strollers) unless you have enough to give to EVERYONE. For instance, they have currently run out of coats. So though coats were formerly in the “burritos”, we had to take them apart to take the coats out, so that the new arrivals would all feel treated fairly.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It would be a much easier matter if all the refugees were from the same place and spoke the same language, but instead you have new arrivals showing up daily who may not mix well with the current population. So it is a constant shuffling puzzle.</div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">There is also a “blue zone” for single women and families and a “red zone” where single men live. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><a style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit;" tabindex="-1"></a></span>There is also another area of the “red zone” that is specifically for Afghan families (the largest ethnic group in camp). No single women are allowed in the red zone, and EuroRelief women are not allowed to enter the red zone alone. </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">The job that Melanie and I had yesterday was to try to get Afghan families in the blue zone to switch to the Afghan family area of the red zone to make room for single women new arrivals to move into the blue zone. Here we are showing different units to a blue zone family. It was like being real estate agents. We pointed out which units were cleanest, closest to facilities, etc, and let this lady decide which one she liked best. She was willing to move, and we were excited because the move would have made room for 8 new arrivals. But her husband overruled her. They like their current spot. </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">When the Afghan relocation plan didn’t work, we went unit by unit through the blue zone begging single women to accept more single women into their tent. Nobody wanted to take the women from Ethiopia. When we finally got some to agree, it turns out the paperwork was wrong and the girls were from Eritrea. Nobody was happy.

Gina (who owns the hotel we are staying in) and her friend, Mercini (who owns the Olivewood House where we love to shop) made us a lovely Greek meal. Their hospitality is truly fantastic! Both these women are Greek Orthodox, but they seem serious about their faith (for many here, it seems to be just cultural and not a true belief). We had a great time, and it is true that the Greeks just keep putting more and more on your plate. You cannot say “no”. You must eat! And then you must eat more! We also found out that Mercini swims each morning in the Aegean. Even in the winter. No wetsuit.

Some Greeks come as well as some refugees.<br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRhdAkPV48M0G27atW11OXBsykjDGZhS3mHyMnZaoOG7GtSw0mvd7HHdxp3IKJCzFw6nf-7PMspxek8gKWmhEHmTT8MDiZliHyXjue3L-RQ9rwekGFk5sy89wTG8UnRMmuCE3DuawAefageYP_TMhZoSncHUMc_VVlLf35LVWA1X1NloyJW9OK6QpRX6Pe/s4032/IMG_7482.JPG" style="background-color: transparent; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><br /><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRhdAkPV48M0G27atW11OXBsykjDGZhS3mHyMnZaoOG7GtSw0mvd7HHdxp3IKJCzFw6nf-7PMspxek8gKWmhEHmTT8MDiZliHyXjue3L-RQ9rwekGFk5sy89wTG8UnRMmuCE3DuawAefageYP_TMhZoSncHUMc_VVlLf35LVWA1X1NloyJW9OK6QpRX6Pe/w300-h400/IMG_7482.JPG" width="300" /></a></span></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: verdana; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;">This is a group of EuroRelief volunteers planning their next task. Notice we all wear red vests and have walkie-talkies. New arrivals are registered by EuroRelief (we keep all the data for the Greek government). There are always a number on call to be at the camp within 20 minutes to greet and help those who have just arrived at camp. They arrive by boat from Turkey. Quite a few don’t make it.

They meet for a meal, worship and devotion once/week, and we got to attend Tuesday night. This is such a great group of people. Most are from the Netherlands, Germany or the USA, but anyone can apply to volunteer here for EuroRelief. There is a LOT of support for the volunteers here which is really necessary to prevent burnout from the constant demands of the jobs at camp. For two weeks, it’s not too bad for us, but I can see how it could wear you down quickly.</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtA5K_02g1AbkLIYIwV9OFoyDadjZoiOS1AbwknxRSBYg0Ow4Nx6bfWA-L6b-jO-2joc7I83HhAzDPRkdXae29JmtZBqHDvLYYQLInP53rFbyGY9GxNIs3KvZGGKEvUkTgaHTWLuCeGvFQ4XPTeK8-GNZ4GQ0AIcPm6FnEpzVCUUEhFvH2vr8ng-5PoIHn/s4032/IMG_7493.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtA5K_02g1AbkLIYIwV9OFoyDadjZoiOS1AbwknxRSBYg0Ow4Nx6bfWA-L6b-jO-2joc7I83HhAzDPRkdXae29JmtZBqHDvLYYQLInP53rFbyGY9GxNIs3KvZGGKEvUkTgaHTWLuCeGvFQ4XPTeK8-GNZ4GQ0AIcPm6FnEpzVCUUEhFvH2vr8ng-5PoIHn/s320/IMG_7493.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: verdana; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;">This is Kathleen from Germany. Yesterday, when she and I were doing a bed count, we met an Afghan refugee who is teaching mathematics, German, and music to young refugees. Here he is asking Kathleen to check some of his German. We were invited in for tea and heard a lot of his story. The Taliban killed his father and his first wife. He’s been in Greece for over four years, and he lived in the old camp - Moria (there are just a few left at this camp who were in Moria). He encouraged refugees to protest their condition, and for this reason, he was not allowed by the police to leave camp for two years. He is free to leave now (not leave the island with papers, but just to come and go out the gate as the rest of the refugees). His second wife and three daughters are now in Germany and he hopes to join them soon. In the meantime, he has made his Isobox into a classroom. He is definitely an educator at heart. He also told us he was not a Muslim anymore because of the way they treat women. He said he is now Christian.</span><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #050505; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;"><br /><br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisUzEvkT70cCdwI4k8VzxmqTwzwfp5XvnWtSshNNHL9Nha3Ve-ETSbkqGM13E1tXA8DArZ-bKRg17J77oPOQvPjX91vnOzYBwBIse0q_3Tv2ZABNIeD4k-_9sN6mms99tUYiiEXAF5oK8zTTpmQxfJIVbr91wjHULrxWUaeWbYhemgb5FHWi8tS-itsazg/s4032/IMG_1177.HEIC" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisUzEvkT70cCdwI4k8VzxmqTwzwfp5XvnWtSshNNHL9Nha3Ve-ETSbkqGM13E1tXA8DArZ-bKRg17J77oPOQvPjX91vnOzYBwBIse0q_3Tv2ZABNIeD4k-_9sN6mms99tUYiiEXAF5oK8zTTpmQxfJIVbr91wjHULrxWUaeWbYhemgb5FHWi8tS-itsazg/s320/IMG_1177.HEIC" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: verdana; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;">This lady is the artist behind all this pottery.

We are logging 15K to 25K steps a day! Interestingly, most of the longer term volunteers have bikes (pictured here). But they only use them to get to and fro from camp. At camp, we do everything on foot. </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Why? Because we are trying to value people over tasks. As you walk, you can more easily stop to talk. EuroRelief delivers messages (mostly in the form of written tickets for things like asylum <span style="font-family: inherit;"><a style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit;" tabindex="-1"></a></span>interviews, doctor appointments, coupons for the clothing or hygiene store, etc) on foot every day - sometimes going to a tent or isobox several times a day trying to find the residents home. Sometimes you are invited in for tea, and that’s always a special treat. </div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Pray for us for stamina each day. We are all doing quite well. But tomorrow and most of next week we are expecting rain ALL DAY. It is also supposed to be a high of 50 F.
