So we got up early, Yarik took forever in the shower and Sergei and I got breakfast. We got all of our stuff together and got out the door. Yarik called Vitalli to see which bus would take us to the train station. He said bus number 2. We waited and waited, no bus number 2! So it was getting closer and closer to the time we would have to get on the train, so I suggested we take a different bus downtown and then catch one from there to the train station. I thought that bus 4 took us downtown. Well, it did go downtown, but then turned before it got where I wanted to get off. I did not notice that it turned off until things were looking really unfamiliar. I was not sure which way we were going, so I figured we would just take the ride and maybe get lucky. Well, not this time...we ended up in an unfamiliar part of town and decided to get off and take another bus going back to town. By this time it was too late to catch the train. I apologized to the guys and Yarik choose the bus this time, which did take us back to the center where we could walk back to the apartment. We went back to the apartment and dropped off the gifts. We had a snack and then headed back to the open air market. Since we had some extra time, we wanted to see if we could find any other good deals for gifts.
We got a few more things for friends and some gifts for family back in the US. We went back to the apartment again and then went to get groceries. The team from Open Arms were planning to come for dinner on Sunday, so I started preparing things for the next day. They were hungry for Mexican food, so I made the salsa. It sure smelled good, I hoped it tasted good. I had even found some cilantro to use, which was good for me, because I like cilantro, but Darren does not. So I got to use it and enjoy it without him disliking it.
Darren and I got some time to have a "date" online and then we all got to bed at a fairly decent time so we would be ready for church the next morning. Fortunately, we also got the extra hour of sleep, since they change the time a week earlier here.
