West Palm Beach

Sarah and I are enjoying some down time in West Palm Beach right now. I’m juggling at 2 churches while on this trip, but most of our time is spent hanging out in the area. Our primary purpose for coming down was to let Sarah shadow a counselor at a place here in town called the Hippocrates Health Institute. And that is what she is doing from 9am-4pm each day. I’m just relaxing and scoping out the area during the day to plan some nice evening activities with my wife.

We were blessed to find FREE housing through a contact we had at Asbury Seminary. A family is letting us stay in their side apartment (used by the mother-in-law during the winter season). So we have a private bath and private entrance. Last night, Sarah and I got to walk along the boardwalk in West Palm. It is a very pretty ocean city and there at very few visitors and tourists this time of year.

Crossing the bridge over to Palm Beach, you get into the more ritzy part of town. We drove through and saw Beverly Hills style mansions. While driving we got caught behind a man driving a Bently with the top down and a magnicifent black poodle in the passenger seat. He was stroking the poodle’s fur at one of the traffic lights. Welcome to Palm Beach, FL!

We’ll be back in Virginia next Wednesday and we will begin the unpacking process in our new apartment. See you later!
