Cornwall England

To me, this has been the most beautiful place in England. But, I love the coast and water. Why do I live in Colorado, because of the sunny days which I long for. We saw an actual RAF helicopter rescue while we were touring around. If you rent a car, be sure and get the extra insurance. The roads are very narrow, allowing only one car to pass. Where do I go to let the car get around me or me around them? Oops, too close to the rock wall! Oh well, I have the extra insurance. Here are the beautiful pictures of the Cornwall area of England. Enjoy! Cornwall

Bath & Bristol England

A drive through the English countryside and Wales, what a sight. Bath was a very nice old city. Take a look at the pictures to see a very old building, must older than even our country. Bristol was having a festival while we were there. We were able to worship with the church in Bristol. Here are the pictures from Bath.

Castle Howard - York

Hello again. Notice the pictures this time in England, a sunny day, which we don't have many. Castle Howard is within an hour drive from our flat. It was a beautiful day to walk around outside in the beautiful gardens of Castle Howard. This would be a great place to have a wedding. Enjoy the pictures, Castle Howard.

Venice

What a different city! I am not used to seeing taxis in the water. It was very quiet and nice. Linda and I walked all over Venice, sitting next to the water watching all the boats go by. You have no need for a car, you need a boat. Venice wedding, yes, taken away in a Gandola. And the lime gelato, yummy! It helped to keep the hot days a little cooler. Here is the link to the pictures, Venice.

Geneva

Switzerland, what a beautiful country! The water in the lake is crystal clear, you can see the bottom and the fish swimming around. The Alps, wow! And the cheese, chocolate and food is very, very good. I am glad we always do a lot of walking. The Reformation Wall, United Nations, Red Cross headquarters and more. Many, many years ago, this was the first place I went to in Europe. Have you ever been to church, in French? I was on a campaign in Geneva back in 1976. The same missionary is in Geneva today, Doyle Kees. It was great to see the church has grown, over 100 strong. I was able to visit with his son, Mark but Doyle was out of town the weekend we were in Geneva. Here is the link to the pictures, Geneva.

Krakow

Hi, I am back. Things have been really busy at work. We are enjoying our very long days. The sun rises at around 3:30 am and the sun sets around 10:30 pm. This was the longest day. It is about 9:40 pm and the sun is just now going down. We have a new young couple with the HIM program from Oklahoma Christian start working with the Church here in Morley.

Our trip to Poland was wonderful. It did rain but we still enjoyed our stay. They have some great bread rolls. Try them if you go. You can get a roll on almost every corner. Here is the link to the pictures, Krakow.

Auschwitz

The next trip we took was to Krakow Poland. Krakow is near the concentration camps of Auschwitz. While in Krakow, Linda and I took a tour of two of the three camps of Auschwitz. This was a very humbling experience and a reminder of the bad things about our world. If someone tells you this did not happen, I will tell you otherwise. We have seen a lot of things showing the World War II era. Here is the link to the pictures, Auschwitz.
