…and now for something completely different
… Switzerland that is.
It’s the middle of the night right now and we have a train to catch to Paris early in the morning so I’m going to keep this short.
Switzerland has been wonderful! So wonderful that we have not had time to post anything. Jon and Katie have been the most marvelous hosts. We have really enjoyed seeing our friends again. They had a bunch of day adventures planned for us.
The first day they took us for a drive around the neighboring areas. We visited their family’s vineyard, the nearby Dukedom, and they drove us across the border so that we can say we went to Austria! We ended the night with an enjoyable visit to Jon’s parents house.
The second day we explored the capitol city of Switzerland and had many fun adventures. Sunday morning we had church in the living room and read the story of Jesus making his ultimate sacrifice for us… and then defeating Satan… He is RISEN!
We then put on our large backpacks for a different type of excursion and we tread up the very snowy mountain to their hut where we stayed the night. Yes I did say snow. It has been a big shock to our systems to be landed back into the middle of the winter. Jon and Katie were very disappointed in the weather as they were apparently in shorts the week before. Somehow we came for some of the worst weather they’ve had all winter.
However, we’ve had some very fun adventures! I guess I’ll let the pictures tell the story for now. We are now back at the vanLaake’s home… and after a fun game of Settlers we now realize that our amazing visit here must come to a close. It has been wonderful to spend this time with great friends.
Next… Paris!
PS- after writing the above I have now realized we can’t upload pictures as I thought… sorry they will have to wait. (I was able to post one picture)
