On Tuesday, we were off again. After crossing the historic Rhine River we made a lunch stop in Liechtenstein. Then made our way to a region called Tyrol & arrived in a village called Seefeld. Another beautiful place where there were many moments to stand in awe of our Creator God! We went to Innsbruck & visited the Wilten Basilica. We also had an unexpected opportunity to go inside the stadium where the Olympic Ski Jump was held.
One day we took a 10hrs bus ride (to & from) Venice. Then 1hr boat ride to & from St.Mark's Square. It was extememly hot & humid. To walk in St.Mark's, there was a dress code. Short to knees & shoulders couldn't show. I had to pay 1 Euro for a piece of cloth to cover my legs b/c my short were too short. Some had to cover their shoulders also. We went through the glassblowing factory then off to walk the crowded streets of Venice. My favorite was seeing the Opera House. We couldn't go past the lobby b/c it was opening night.
Near the end of our time in Austria, the choir & band performed in Seefeld! They did a great job and had a great crownd despite the rain!!
