In a land far far away...

Once upon a time (yesterday) a girl named Christina and her friend named Anna took off on a little adventure. They drove and drove against heavy traffic with the hot winds blowing in their face because they had no air conditioning, and then finally arrived at a beautiful lake...













Sadly the sun had just hidden itself behind a cloud. But the two girls determined to relax from their stressful weeks at camp decided to stay anyway. Once the rains came they jumped back in their car and drove until they found the garden home of Tito (former leader of Yugoslavia). This home had been turned into a coffee shop overlooking the beautiful Lake Bled with the small island in the middle! So they decided to stop in for a cup of coffee...













Inspired by the beauty of the castle-like-home, the picture of Tito watching over them from above, and the thunder storm raging outside, they took out a rather exciting and scary novel and began to read to each other. They read for hours. Even the waitress became curious and asked questions about what they were reading...













At times the story became so intense and the thunder and lightning outside so ominous that the two girls shook with fear!













But they just kept on reading...













Finally after many hours the tired little girls climbed back into their car and drove home. What an adventure! What a day!!

I leave today for a two week theological training program up in the mountains of Slovenija! It should be pretty incredible!
