A Day in the Mountains of Switzerland

Mount Titlis

Because the weather on Tuesday was wet and gross, we spent most of it combing through museums in Basel and Zurich. We ended up visiting two day’s worth of museums in one, which left today wide open. We decided to make the most of it by heading for the mountains. We left our Airbnb outside Zurich and headed for Luzern and Engelberg. I thought I’d share a few photos I snapped along the way. Tomorrow we visit Konstanz, Germany to learn about Jan Hus and to try to track down some objects related to his life and death. Then we head home!

(My thanks goes to Logos for helping sponsor the trip. Did you know they sell The Works of Zwingli? You can get them for a great price.)

    Then there are the wonders of human ingenuity: the machines, the inventions, the works of art. One lifetime is not nearly enough to explore or appreciate even the smallest fraction of them all.

  • Pray Until You Feel Like It

    It is wise to set aside a time and place to pray—to build the habit and to then maintain it. But creating the habit may not always create the desire.
