Although this campground was the most expensive we have
utilized, it was worth it for the proximity to the city, the cleanest showers
ever, the 1 hour sightseeing info meeting, the allowance to let us leave our RV
in the overflow area while we headed to DC for 2 days, and the wifi
accessibility anywhere in the park! The
7 hours of yipping dogs in the RV next to us almost did us in, but we triumphed
– as we realized that it was our payback for Bo (our dog) annoying the
neighbors with his constant barking for Bill……
We left the park at 6:15 on the metro bus, which dropped us
off at the metro station to catch a subway into the city. You may have wanted to be a bug on the wall
as we attempted to “load” our Senior Pass cards before boarding. I think we set
a record for the most times canceling out a transaction; perseverance paid off
and we finally boarded, going the correct direction!
Our feelings as we worked through 4 floors of the 6: sadness, empathy, unbelief, disgust, anger, and finally triumph & joy as we realized that these are a people who looked to God to find the endurance and strength to overcome. That spiritual that was sung during the protests in the 60’s was the TRUTH that kept them going.
The Halocaust Museum was also disturbing and
heart-rending. God’s chosen people
hunted down and brutally murdered, by a “leader” who led his country
astray. And - by people like us who followed --and didn't stand for truth. It will be exciting to see how
this story ends when we reach heaven and meet those believers who were courageous enough to help their neighbors and friends, and did not turn on them.
