Scott was ready to go at our 9:00 am planned departure time. We rolled the bags downhill to the bus stop, where Scott had learned during his time that the #9 is the one we take to the airport. The bus works slick to get to the airport, and $6.19 (50 kroner) is much cheaper than a $55-60 taxi with only 18 minutes difference in travel time.
The #9 bus back to Sandnes was departing at the top of the hour, so I pulled out the book I brought along (New Perspectives on Intercultural Reading of the Bible, a collection of essays in a festschrift for Hans de Wit) and read outside for about half an hour in the nice weather and sometimes sunshine.
Nice weather here is a high in the upper 60s! The hottest it has been in Stavanger so far has be 74!
In the sunshine, I did a bit of yard work–mostly pulling weeds that had grown while we were traveling. The rest of the day was packing and scratching things off my to-do list.
In the evening, my back needed a break, so we watched Helen Miren in The Queen. It was cool for Anya to see the Buckingham Palace and say, “I’ve been there!”
With blessings,
Beth
