International Travel











Another new experience for us - traveling through Europe. Ok.... train schedules are different than airplane schedules, and bus and tram schedules are a little different from each of those. Plus, we can't speak or read either Dutch or German. Help! Lucky for us there are nice people everywhere and we have received compassion wherever we go. First we took a few days and toured in Holland, being hosted by the most gracious and generous folks in the world. Next we traveled to Germany and met friends of our oldest son, Nathan. What can I say? They are gracious and generous too and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. God has truly blessed us and we have enjoyed the country and people we have met in Europe. A great "first trip to Europe" experience with many happy memories. Thank you Gerard, Annelies, Conrad, Kris & Bianca! We will share some pictures, but it is so true - pictures don't do it justice.... you gotta go!
