"The view from here" is a section that I thought I would create to just post photos. Photos, after all are worth a thousand words. But, David is in class and although he did show me, I cannot seem to get the photos from the camera.
We had a great weekend retreat in a town called Dorfgastein, south of Salzburg. The weather was nice as we were leaving and got rainy as we drove south. On Sunday we worshipped in the little church there and then took the gondola (ski lift) up to the top of the mountain with our guide, Fritz. By the time we got to the top it was snowing! We had coffee or hot cocoa and an Austrian dish called Kaiserschmarrn. Although it looked different - we call it a German pancake! It was warm and delicious!
We walked down the mountain on a gravel trail. At times the wind and snow were pretty strong. Along the way we saws beautiful views, alpine cows ringing the bells around their necks and a mirror lake.
Overall, the retreat was a time to get acquainted with each other better before the start of our "routine" in Vienna.
