Well, actually those were all in Italy. I don't have the France ones on Photobucket yet, but I will get on it!

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

those pictures are awesome...look forward to seeing the others...thanks so much for sharing.

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

Was that Rome and Florence?

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

Glad you had a great time!
I remember you saying it was expensive place to eat?

Kinda nice to relax and not worry about ministering!

Gorgeous Pictures! Glad you two had a great time for your anniversary.

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

Those look like fun! I noticed the wine bottle and the red spike heels...

Kristin and I had a blast there as well.

Our planned trip back to Northern Italy this August is now again postponed - this time because of an expected bundle in swaddling clothes...

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

You actually got that close to the Mona Lisa? We waited three hours (of course looking at other art) then the mob would only let us get within twenty feet!

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

Did you go up in the tower??

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

Oh well. steve just send raul and I the tickets...no swaddling clothes here!:gotcha

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

Hey, be careful! We did not plan this one out either!!

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

Sorry to disappoint, but it wasn't a wine bottle! It's only water. But the spike heels.......yes, those are permissable!

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

Congratulations!!!! I had no idea!

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

Nope, no towers for me. I don't like heights or a million steps!

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

Loved the pictures. Thanks for letting us travel with you. Looks like you had a great time.

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

We did have alcohol pushed at us everywhere. They could not believe the stupid Americans did not drink. At one hotel, we had a chilled bottle of champagne, at another hotel, a chilled bottle of wine in our room. At one restaurant, they brought us glasses of champagne for free and at another one, free little shots of something. I was not the least bit tempted on any of these accounts. One whiff of the stuff makes me wonder how anyone can drink it! I guess you acquire a taste for the stuff.

The bottled water was expensive enough!

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

Oh, I'm surprised you can wear those shoes then!!:gotcha

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

Right. They do wine with everything. We did enjoy the two to three hour dinners with entertainment though.

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

I might feel differently about alcohol if I were living in an area like that. I don't know how any missionaries over there could take a very strong stance against it. It's just like water to them.

Announced on last Sunday - Mother's Day!

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

I personally don't see it as evil etc., but I do respect Kristin's view which is like your own.

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

It looks like you guys had an awesome time! The pictures were awesome! That might be the only way I get to see the Mona Lisa...ever :) LOL!!! Thanks for sharing!

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

It's WAY littler than I expected. I always thought it was a big painting, but it's really very small.

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

Changing the subject, Sherri when are you folks going to the Philippines? Any plans?

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

We haven't made reservations yet, but we are planning on the last week of December - right after Christmas. The conference will be in the first week of January in Davao City. This is all just in the planning stage right now, but I think it will happen.

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

Too cool!

Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

Awesome photos, and y'all looked so relaxed. Love the shoes.

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

Awesome pics!! I love to travel and take in different cultures. The world is getting smaller all the time!! :D

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

Hey Sherri,


Do you and your husband know any of the Apostolic/Pentecostal Missionairies over the locations you vistied?

The two of you are so blessed to have experienced this!
I am happy for the two of you and God's blessings on your ministries and lives!!

Re: Italy/Paris Pictures
 

No, we don't know anyone over there. And we only saw one lady the whole time we were there that might possibly be Apostolic, as far as standards go. So I assume there's not a very large presence over there, unless they are more of the persuasion like us.

Years ago, I used to know a missionary to Italy, but I'm sure they've retired by now.
