My brother and sister came to visit for the first time!   I am so excited to have them here and see them experience Europe for the first time, the good and the bad.  It is also special to be together with them, this is something that is becoming more and more rare and just gets harder  over time to coordinate.  We spent the first two nights in the Alps in my favorite area.  I was so excited to see their faces when they saw the Alps for the first time.  We went hiking at the top of a mountain with a spectacular view.  We got to share in each others lives and grow spiritually with each other.  There is something very spiritual about the mountains, it feels as though you are closer to God.  The first morning we got up and went to breakfast at one cafe in town and just sat in the beauty and enjoyed wonderful dark German coffee and of course Apple strudel.   After this we drove back through the mountains toward Slovakia.
