The next day was Hiking the Alps day with Urs and his girlfriend Angela. I had never put hiking the Alps on my bucket list because I never really thought it was possible. It was possible and it is a memory I will always treasure!
At every summit there is a book to sign with who you are and where you're from.
Switzerland is absolutely stunning!
So coming down the second Alp was really interesting. There isn't a trail. It had been raining a lot before we were there and the hillside is full of springs. Choosing where to walk was an adventure. I was wearing my running shoes, Corry was wearing cross trainers, Urs and Angela both had on hiking boots. They were far less concerned about where to step than we were. As a result of all that, we all got separated. The Alps are filled with these rolling hills instead of just a straight down, so there were several times that I could not see any one person. Corry had followed Urs, I had followed Angela. I had already fallen hard once (ended up falling so hard I found out the next day I broke my camera lens that was in my protected camera backpack) and now I couldn't see anyone else and hadn't for awhile. I am in a foreign country too! My active imagination started running wild! At that particular time, I thought the car was up from where I was hiking. So the talk from conference - "Look Up" by Adrian Ochoa was on my mind. If I just kept my eye up where I thought the car and Angela were, I would be OK. I was praying that I was looking in the right direction. I made it and so did Corry. I am thankful for prayer and the ability to keep my eyes focussed on where I was headed.
