31 Day Trek Through Europe with the Same Clothes, Same People, & Complete Strangers - Life Changing!
Monday, June 18, 2007
Wow, I’m back home.  I feel like time stood still while I was in Europe for a month. But I got back home and everyone had continued living life while I was gone. Funny, huh?
 
I’m trying to wrap my
 
Old Friends, New Places
Monday, June 11, 2007
The Lord is so good to us. I was once again blessed by the Lord while on this trip by being able to meet up with a friend today here in Munich. My buddy Andi and I worked together at a camp in
 
A Day of Praise
Thursday, June 7, 2007
Hello from Vienna, Austria! I pray all is well with family and friends back home  as we are at the tail end of our adventurous travels! We arrived here in the evening yesterday (Wednesday), once
 
A mixture of Court Jester,  Lord of the Rings, the Circus and ... Prague.
Thursday, June 7, 2007
During one of our afternoons in Prague, the team spilt up.... to do different activities. (You thought I was saying that we divided up for the remainder of the trip, huh? Of course not!)  Some went
 
Czech-ing church out in the Pra to the -gue.
Tuesday, June 5, 2007
Well, Sunday was one of the first times we were not traveling and were able to go to church.  It was a gloomy, rainy day as we headed off to the metro trying to find the International Baptist Church
 
Oh Praha!

I realize that this is yet another picture of Neal on my blog, but it just gives a glimpse of what our first day in Prague (aka Praha) was like.  Once on the train leaving Berlin, we start getting
 
I Love Listening to Accordion Music on the Train
Friday, June 1, 2007
 
So, we were on the subway today...like we’ve been on everyday. And while we were somewhat spread out, a man comes on with his accordion in his arms, pulling a little cart with a mini speaker and cd
 
Living Praise
Friday, June 1, 2007
Well we have been in Berlin for 2 days now and haven’t had opportunities to meet people like we’ve had in our previous cities. Our hostel is very nice, hip, modern, etc. yet doesn’t seem to have as
 
Psalm 139:7-10 and a shout out to Blakely on her birthday!
Friday, May 25, 2007
I want to begin this post by shouting from the top of the Swiss Alps mountains, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BLAKELY!!”  Have a great day!
Second on the agenda...
We took the train up the mountains and made our
 
I feel like I should be yodeling, calling out “RICOLA!”, milking a goat and wearing a dress like Heidi with my hair in pigtails.  
Thursday, May 24, 2007
As I sit here on my bed I’m looking out the window at a huge snow covered mountain, green grass and trees while goats eat away at the grass. The water is so fresh, clean, blue and tastes incredible.
 
The Night Lights
Tuesday, May 22, 2007
I think one of my favorite times in Paris is when the sun has finally set and the moon comes out with its twinkling stars...along with the twinkling lights of the city. Last night we were walking
 
When in Paris...
Tuesday, May 22, 2007
To be honest, when we first arrived in Paris I was a bit afraid and overwhelmed by the culture. Paris has a completely different language, culture and way of life. Plus, having been sick with a cold
 
“We Crack Me Up”   -Me
Friday, May 18, 2007
You can always anticipate a day of laughter when in the presence of Mat Alexander. For some reason I was cracking up at Mat and what he was saying. I don’t know why I thought he was so funny....some
 
Amsterdam, California and Pakistan collide : With (short) running shorts and flying tennis balls.
Thursday, May 17, 2007
Good morning! I thought after getting a good night’s sleep my legs would have been restored. But ...they’re still sore. You see, our team has obviously done a lot of walking in the beginning stages
 
Wow!
Sunday, May 13, 2007
Wow! This past week I have been in a whirlwind it seems. I’m still trying to wrap my brain around the idea of traveling Europe for a month. It seems that I can’t stop smiling as I look forward to
