Oh Yah... Title!

Okay! So it's been a while... Sorry about that!
Since Nice (Southern France), we have been to Lauterbrunnen and Lucerne in Switzerland and are currently in Munich again for a night before heading to Paris for three days, then Brugges (Belgium) and then find our way to Frankfurt to fly back to Canada in only 9 days!!!

Switzerland. Super expensive, but absolutely worth it! (Also could be due to the fact that we just had to do everything) High ropes course, Paragliding, Whitewater rafting, and we didn't even get to do Canyoning! Definitely satisfied some of the adventurous mountain spirits within us =)

To wind down from our adventures in Lauterbrunnen/Interlaken we found an International (English Speaking-and reformed to boot!) Church in Lucerne where we met two other Canadian girls named Laura and Mary-Ellen. We hung out all day so that was really cool. We were encouraged by how they intentionally honour the Lord's day even while traveling by not spending money/trying not to make other people work. I mean when you only have 18 days to travel (they were on a Contiki tour), you want to make the most of every day and do as many tours and eat as much food and get as much souvenirs as you can! But it's a really great witness to their fellow travelers and we pray that others may be encouraged by them and glorify God.

On that note, I met a 65 year old Italian man in the hostel named Dino who shared his cheese and pears and bread and beer with me and who hadn't slept in 3 days and shared quite a bit of his life story with me in the broken english he knew and wore a cross around his neck and had very interesting theology about the afterlife so we talked a bit and I gave him the french bible that I picked up in Winnipeg (because he understands french better than English) so we pray that He would read it and continue to be transformed by Christ.

In other news, thank you for following our travels and may you be blessed and encouraged by our Lord Jesus Christ!

Paris, here we come!
