July 15 A Heavenly Mountain Hike

Perhaps nature can do what church this morning could not, namely to freshen our souls and offer rest from the week's labours. After church we take a delightful hike through the foot paths of Kapuzinerberg, the mini-mountain that overlooks the city centre and the obligatory pastoral river that all European cities are required to own. We've never seen such stunning views. The sun comes out just in time for our descent, providing us a sparkling, dew-soaked tunnel of tree cover to walk under all the way down.
