 Wonderful gelato!

 The waters were still high from the floods earlier in the month.

 We barely cleared the bridges - the water level was so high.


 One of the bridges where people leave locks. Mary left one for a friend.
 Gave a presentation about how God Used Ninja Warrior in my life to Catalyst.
 Hi Brigitte!
 Raclette and Fondue place - they couldn't believe we wanted it in June, but we said it was our only chance :-)

 Tired feet!
