Thank you so much for the incredible time we had with you Margaret, Alex, Pierce and Gretel!
The whole time we were there it felt to me I was in a dream.
Prior to: I kept hinting to Pat that we could go visit "the Freis"
but when he never made any response and only talked about his alternative
vacationing spots (tropical islands) I resigned myself to believe it was merely a 'pipe dream'.
However, my Christmas stocking of 2013 proved me wrong.
St. Nick gave the go to travel abroad.
A walk to the park.
Enjoying sister-time ...and ice-cream, thanks Alex for the generous helping.
Alex and Marg let us use their car to travel down to Salzburg for a couple nights.
These are the barracks in Dachau.
We shouldn't look so happy.
Walking on the wall surrounding the outside of the city (Salzburg).
Pretzel stands in the courtyard. The idea was much more appealing than the taste.
So, many quaint little streets.
I love this image across Europe of the many Church's, always at the highest spot in the town with the intent of drawing our hearts and minds to Christ, to elevate our attention and desires toward Heaven.
If only society here still lived this way.
Brugge, Belgium:Across the street from our hotel.
Thanks again for arranging all the accommodations M &A!
Just perfect!
I am still impressed with the van you drove us in Alex.
The boat ride going around the city. It was quite enjoyable until I felt a soft WARM sensation melt into my hair; evidently a bird thought this was a good "dropping" spot.
Another walk to the park before we leave...I am not sure Gretel looks excited about it though.
Gretel, you sure liked your Uncle Pat.
