A Few Pictures

Sherrie says we need some more pictures, so here are a few pictures to help you more visually share the experience with us.

 

This is outside our living room window looking more or less south and down a little bit.

This is facing south from our living room. If you look carefully you can see the ocean at the horizon. We see it rather more clearly most of the time, but sometimes it is all rather gray and you can't tell the ocean from the sky. We figure the tall buildings by the ocean are all done with drug money.

Since I'm not really very artistic, I'm just moving these pictures left and right because it seems the systematic way to do it. The pool appears to belong to the building just to the east of us. Hence, this view is out our east window.

Here is the front of our building, the north side, and we're on our way to work. You might notice a white tag hanging on my collar. At work we're not suppose to wear our black missionary name tags, but the white FamilySearch name tag instead. I'm not really sure why. If we ever find out, and if it is an interesting reason, perhaps we'll write about it.

 The temple is directly across the street to the north of our apartment building. You can probably see Moroni up on top of the steeple. Sorry about all the wires.

 To the west of the temple is a park where people go to exercise in the morning or perhaps any time of the day. We've not experienced walking through the park yet, but it looks like a lot of fun stuff goes on there.

 This is a highly unusual view down Calle Bolivar (facing east) from the front of our building. No traffic. From five to seven in the evening it is pretty much impossible to cross the street.

 Here is another shot of the temple from the front of our building a little closer to the street to try not to get the wires. Someday we'll have to learn to take better pictures.

This one is significant because this is the first book we imaged. I don't remember how many pages it has, but we were pretty pleased to wrap up our first book. 

As far as I know it looks like each camera may handle perhaps three or four books in a day. Of course it depends on the book. Some of them are in pretty awful condition with the pages all torn and sometimes half disintegrated.


And there you have our pictures for the day.
