Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer;
answer me, for I need your help.
Protect me, for I am devoted to you.
Save me, for I serve you and trust you.
You are my God.
Be merciful to me, O Lord,
for I am calling on you constantly.
Give me happiness, O Lord,
for I give myself to you.
O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord;
hear my urgent cry.
I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble,
and you will answer me. - Psalm 86:1-7 Favorite Blogs: |

Proform supported their warranty for our ellitpical and we are getting a free replacement! But since the new models of ellipticals are not as nice (less features) and the models we like are much more money, we are paying a little extra and getting a spinning bike (Kami is very happy).

| Today was the beginning of all the daily adventures. Over the next 10 days, we averaged 7 miles of walking so I am going to just log the average.
Tours of Barcelona including the the Museum of Catalonia, Old town and to the Sagrada Familia (but not inside).

| Travel day to next stop. We were going to go to Marseilles but the seas were too big (10M waves) so the ship is instead going to Ajaccio Corsica.

| Flew to Budapest and met up with my cousins and toured the city. The airline lost our luggage but we were able to retrieve it later in the day.
Downtown Budapest for new year's in snow (have not had snow for new years in a LONG time) was fun but very cold.
