Don't Look Back......

That was the theme of our Woman's Retreat last weekend....Oh what a great time we all had....this is our guest speaker, Cathy Dickinson, she's the Pastors wife of Calvary El Cajon......my head is still swimming from her wonderful teachings........

These next three pictures are of the view from outside our room....there were six women to a room....great fun....I enjoyed sitting outside at night watching the ducks swim all around the pond!


The next two pictures are pics of different hot springs you pass as you walk along the paths to get to the meeting room......it was way too hot for me!! Some even had steam rising off them.....the Sunday we left it was 105 degrees there.........the evenings didn't cool down much either......


There was a nice size swimming pool and a spa pool...most of the ladies went in those.....the water left your skin so soft....love those minerals...but stinky...LOL!

I thought this rock was great.....it was along the path as well.....just to remind you to smile I guess.....

This was a water fall.....the dove is the symbol of all Calvary churches and I think that's a hot spring as well....there were so many of them tucked in here and there along the paths and up the hills as well....
This is the beach were the duck like to gather.....again it's right off the path too......
Well that's it for pics....it was a wonderful weekend....great worship, teaching and fellowship!!!
