Almost Heaven

It has been said, "If you want to find peace, go to Montreux." Well, here we are, and it is peaceful indeed. Montreux is a clean, slow-paced town on the shore of Lake Geneva in Switzerland, and it has been a great place for us to "find peace" for our bodies as we have both been feeling just a bit under the weather lately. Nothing major, just runny noses and a bit of lethargy.

Imagine a very large lake with blue water, teeming with fish, surrounded by vineyards, rolling green hills, and soaring, snow-capped mountains, and you have an idea of Lake Geneva. Then imagine sitting out on a deck, drinking red wine with your lover, and soaking all of that in, and you have an idea about our time here in Montreux. Add in long walks around that lake, exploring the castles built on its shores, and praying in the medieval churches, and that pretty much sums up our time here. Almost indescribeable.

We leave for the city of Geneva on Friday, and then fly out for India on Sunday. Pray for the return of our complete health, and also pray for Jenny`s aunt Carole who broke her neck in a fall in Croatia a few days ago. She is having spinal fusion surgery today, and could use all the prayers she can get.
