a field trip---

My own little field trip with Alison to the temple in Bern--  Happy that the only coat I had to zip was my own!  I love not worrying about traffic and knowing that I will always be on time with my Swiss train pass -- but a car ride and chat was a welcome change. The temple brought a morning to sit in a place that centers me, brings peace, and encourages me to be become more...

A quick lunch and then off to visit a sweet sister in a care center in a small village near Thun.  We wound through hills and valleys before coming to a village out of a storybook.  The quiet, peaceful, simple life seemed enchanted.  With not much German, Alison visited while I explored.  The church and steeple stands in the center as if guarding this beautiful place..  I walk up a path and am greeted by three goats--  I jump in response... wondering if a troll and bridge will join the scene.   I find a little cottage at the top of a hill that overlooks the valley and sit down taking a photo to make this moment last---

The drive home included a stop at a Swiss second hand shop full of treasures--  I might be back for one of those cow bells and a pair of shoes that I've pretty much have convinced myself Heidi actually wore....We laughed and talked as I enjoyed my snack....  the little Mormon shop next to the temple sells American sweets!   

A successful field trip and no one got lost!  Blessings---
