[September
8, 2004] On September 8th, we
drove to the beautiful city of
Salzburg. The old cities, with their many years of existence,
have a history that is of great value.
Many historians have written and do write about the years of culture and
livelihood that occurred during the past generations. [The
photo to your right was taken from the top of the fortress located in
Salzburg.]
The
four-group persons [Adam and I, and brother/sister-in-law] had the opportunity
to take an enclosed shuttle that led us to the walkways that surrounded the
fortress in the outskirts of Salzburg. Many years ago, the nobility or
ruling monarchs were able to live in a surrounding that made it difficult for
their enemies to approach such an enormous fortress. [The
photo to your left shows husband and wife standing on a walkway next to the
large fortress.]
The
city of Salzburg is a lovely old city. New buildings have been
constructed within that city. You could say "the city of Salzburg
consists of the older city A
river runs through
the city of Salzburg. The four-person group walked
across the beautiful bridge. [To
your right, you see a photograph of Adam and Johanna standing on the bridge
that crosses the river in the center of Salzburg.]
On
September 8th, we also had the opportunity to visit a beautiful flower garden
that is located within the Salzburg area. [The
photo to your right
gives a lovely view of the garden that displayed many
colorful flowers.
The photo to your left is another picture of 
the colorful flower arrangements.
The couple in the pictures are Adam and Johanna. The other photo to your
right gives a view of Johanna posing in
front of the beautiful fountain that
can be seen in this lovely garden. Many visitors take advantage to view
such a display of colorful floral designs.]
[September
9, 2004] For September the 9th, it
was decided that the four-persons group was to travel to the beautiful
Koenigsee [King's Lake]. The weather on September 9th was very nice and
the sunshine added to this lovely day. We traveled
via a passenger boat along the Koenigsee 
and saw many mountains along the way.
During the boat ride, the boat came to a standstill. A person with
a trumpet then played a melody. It was awesome to hear the echo of that
melody. [When the boat stopped at
one of the destinations, a picture was taken of Johanna. The passenger
boat is also in the picture.]
While
stopping at the specific destination, we enjoyed a walk along the
area of the
Koenigsee. In one area you could see many of the passengers taking
advantage of sitting at the tables under the
shady trees. We also sat at one of the tables,
and
we
were served beverages to quench our thirsts. We also decided to take
walks along the sidewalks and/or the walks in the woods along the Koenigsee.
[The two photos of
Adam and Johanna show the pathways near the Koenigsee. The photo
to your right gives the view of the Catholic church near the Koenigsee.
The four-persons group, as well as other
visitors, viewed the inside of the beautiful church.]
[September
10, 2004] On September 10th, we
returned to the city of Speyer where the four-persons group were again
graciously accepted for another night's 
lodging.
That evening, we re-packed all our belongings because the next day was to be a
big day; namely, THE RETURN TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
P.S.
(9/10/04) Looking
forward to returning home -- what a joy our final home - Heaven - will be.
As believers we can continue to work here on earth until we reach our final
destination.
Prayer:
"Lord, thank You for the opportunity to see other parts of the world that
was created as outlined in Genesis,
Chapter One. Lord, help me to
continue to live a life that pleases You; and help me, Lord, to be a shining
vessel for Your Glory -- in Jesus' Name, Amen!" Johanna
[September
11, 2004] The four-persons group
traveled to Frankfurt today. The rented automobile was returned, and we
soon boarded the flight to America.
