Always on the lookout...Cinque Terre- "5 lands" Cinque Terre is probably one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. The water is so blue and each town is only accessible by train, boat or walking so they feel kind of remote. These pictures are on the Via del'Amore between the first two cities, Riomaggiore and Manarola. ManarolaThe best pesto...
The Island of Elba is off the coast of Tuscany and it is most famous for where Napoleon was exiled in 1814 for about 300 days. It was very pretty and had a lovely pebble beach. We took a ferry ride over and I fed a seagull from my hand. I was praying it wouldn't bite my hand...
Last Friday we left Germany for the 12 hour bus trip down to Camp Darby, Italy. It is my first time in Italy so I was very excited!! The first part of the week was a little hectic but it all ended up being a fun trip overall. I ended up being able to stay with the high...
On Monday I had to go do all my military in processing so I could get an ID card to get on base and have commissary/PX privileges and such. We got it all done in an hour which is amazingly fast considering the military is usually pretty slow about things.The base that I'm staying at, Ansbach, is about 2 hours...
I feel like I've been here for a long time now even though it's really only been 4 days! Imagine after two months, I might not want to come back. :)Let's see Sunday after church, we went and walked around Heidelberg. It's a beautiful town- you can kind of see the castle at the top of this picture....
So my first day in Germany was pretty uneventful (yeah!). I got through customs with no questions at all and was picked up from the airport and taken to the Army base at Mannheim. There we met up with the Anderson's, the couple I will be staying with until Tuesday. They are going to help me get squared away...
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to sayIt is well, it is well with my soulOkay, so plans have changed up a little bit for the summer. As of right now, I'm flying out to Frankfurt, Germany on Friday. I'm not exactly sure, but I will probably end up staying there for most of the summer because I'm...
Total flying time: 23 hours (5 flights) Total time waiting in an airport: 25 hours (including 4 hours in UK interrogation room- which we will get to later) Hours of sleep I’ve gotten: 5 Times I’ve almost cried: 10 Times I’ve cursed myself for remembering my toothbrush in my carry-on but not my toothpaste: 15 And the beauty...
"Let us see that we keep God before our eyes;that we walk in His ways and seek to please and glorify Him in everything,great and small. Depend upon it, God's work,done in God's way, will never lack God's supplies."---Hudson Taylor---Well, I'm heading off for England tomorrow. As excited as I am about getting out of Texas for the...
Thanks to my wonderful friends who took me out for my birthday. Hosanna planned a great evening- took me to two new places that I had not tried before which was exactly what I wanted. We went to Cafe Ismir for dinner and Trinity Hall for dessert. Lower Greenville has such a fun atmosphere. The night was full...
