As many of you know, "The Raconteur" is the title of my official ministry newsletter and it comes from the French for "recounter" or "storyteller". This blog is anything but official. It is the place for me to tell the "real story" - the things that have no place in an official ministry newsletter because of space or content.

Jet Lag by Proxy?
Is is possible to "catch" jet lag? I'm sitting here at 6:45 in the morning - on vacation! - and wondering what in the world I am doing awake. My sister Sarah is here visiting (arrived on Tuesday) and sleeping on some weird schedule, and that's messing me up. Of course, she's falling asleep at like 7 in the evening and getting up in the middle of the night. I'm staying up until at least midnight and then being woken up early. I think today might be the day to force her out of jetlag mode...
I haven't uploaded pictures from my camera yet, but we went out to the Black Sea (at the port city of Constanta) Wednesday & Thursday. There's nothing quite like a dead resort town! The city itself was still bustling with activity, but the resort area of Mamaia was like a ghost town. Many of the hotels didn't even have curtains hanging in the windows. Such a contrast to the summer months when the place is choked with so many people everywhere! But Sarah got to see the Black Sea, and that's what she wanted.
Today we head to Sinaia, home of Peles castle & a monastery. We are going by train (another cultural experience she must have) and I am very thankful since I've driven about 25 hours in the last week. My car and I will be enjoying a day apart from each other =)
For your viewing pleasure, a few images from the last week...
