America Was….
Whew…we just returned from a whirlwind trip to America.
We seemed to cram as much as humanly possible into those
three weeks.
We worked hard, we visited museums, gathered with dear friends,
were embraced by family, restored bonds, took in our Nation’s Capital, hiked,
visited the beach a couple of times, observed organic farms doing what they do
best, ate loads of ice cream, visited national parks, and enjoyed time spent in four different States. We cried for the
state of our country, discussed the problems that have worsened since our departure some nine years ago, though we did our best to return to Switzerland with hope in our hearts.
Overall, it was a trip that filled our hearts with
tremendous joy, feeling blessed to have friends and family that make our lives rich
with love and promise. It was a
trip that made us contemplate our place in the world,
but mostly it was a journey that we needed to remind us the happiness that
fills us when we are surrounded by people we know, family we love and friends
that hold such dear, dear places in our hearts and lives.
Thank you to everyone!
