Zurich

Our 3rd travel day was to Zurich where we were pleasantly surprised by Alphorns playing Amazing Grace. Then a sail on Lake Zurich to Stafa where we had a lovely BBQ chicken lunch and back to Zurich to see Zwingli's church and the Old Town along the river.

Geneve

Our second day was on Lac Leman and Geneve. We saw the Jet d'eau and visited the Reformation Museum, then had a fondue at Hotel Les Armuers. Very French

Neuchatel

Lake Neuchatel is not on many tourist list for those visiting Switzerland but we wanted to give the lake a go as a trial for our travel pass and were pleasantly surprised with both the cruise and the city.

Monsoons make the Guava grow

I spent a week in Bangladesh visiting friends and teaching a dozen students from the outer regions. It was very hot and humid with a cyclone approaching on my last day. I was impressed once again with the lush foliage and wildlife including dragonflies and fruit bats. Here are a few photos.

We'll be discovering Oxford now

Betsy and family have made the move to their new home in Oxford so I suppose we will begin to discover the city also. For now the impressive thing is a large back (garden) yard with plenty of space for the children to play and a separate room for little Theo. It's not bad that they will see their dad most nights also. Thank you Lord for answering our requests.

First missing tooth!

July Fourth in Bromley

We did our best to bring out the feel of the fourth by visiting a school fair, grilling chicken, corn on the cob, potato salad etc. Sophia entered a flag cake in the school contest and we had watermelon for dessert.

No rain in Spain

I spent some time in Spain teaching an eager group of students. The weather was very warm and so was the welcome.
