Salut!
Today's weather has been really interesting. The day started off reasonably cool so I wore jeans to church. Then I almost boiled to death when the weather got really hot. Then a storm started and it got really humid and there was fork lightning over the lake.. pretty freaky. Then the sun came out and I couldn't see any more storm clouds so thought I would take a wander up a bit of a mountain. So I get half-way (I think) and it starts to thunder again.. so off I ran down the hill. Argh! Make your mind up weather!!
Speaking of church.. it was really great this morning. It covered some of the stuff that I've been learning in my Old Testament Survey subject at College. About how only the High Priest was allowed into the Holy of Holies, God's presence, once a year and how thick the curtain was to enter in and how he wore a rope around his ankle and bells etc. It is so fascinating. And now that Jesus has conquered all the customs like that as our High Priest and the curtain to the Holy of Holies is torn so we can enter into God's presence whenever we want.. all it takes is a prayer. When you stop to think about it that is AMAZING. I know that I have taken for granted that I can just talk to God whenever I want to.. have a personal relationship with Him. It hasn't always been that easy. We are SO blessed to have been born now: look at the freedom we have - in Christ. I have so much to be grateful for..
Oh, on that church note: as we were leaving today this man that I spoke to the first time I went said goodbye and said something about my blog and I said "huh?!". Turns out a friend of his, in Chicago I think, did a search on C3 Lausanne and it came up with a link to my blog because of my previous post on the first visit to the church. OOOooooOOoooOOOoooo, the world is a small place - I better be careful what I write on here! :P
Well, here's some pics from the walk. It was only for an hour or so, so not many pics. You can see the storm coming in on some of the shots. Just got to the car in time to meet a California girl, Natalie, who was lost so took her with me to avoid the rain that had just started bucketing down to find the school that she was just starting in today. She was nice and after driving around in the rain we managed to find someone to ask for directions and we found it. Rich picked up some guy from Bulgaria the other day.. looks like it's the Aussies that find the lost little lambs around here.
So flipping BIG!! The drops on my glasses are sweat: hard-core.. YEAH!
Pretty tourism pathway up and up..
More pretty trees :)
The storm is coming!
Pretty town, Glion, above Montreux

I'd want to comment on the pictures, but, erm...I can't see them!
Maybe when I come back later on they'll be up...!!
Ohhh....you've gone a dark-like on your blog, how awesome...no more pinky winky?! :)
My Dads from Basel Stradt (Basel Town) It's a cute town, if you do go and visit, look for the Lakeri House (this black and white house) that sells the BEST biscuits that go with a cuppa coffee or tea...It's the BEST and they only sell it THERE and no where else!
mmm...*drool*...
I want to see pictures!
Whops, I'm getting too demanding...hehe
HAHA, this is funny! I will get Amy to check it out. She's good with html stuff I think. Hmm, what little boyfriend? Luke? Hmm :/
Oh, Suraya, Luke wanted me to ask you (cos I told him you had a video on your blog) how you did it..? I've taken footage of him on rollerblades and he wants to put it on to show Mandy :)
go to www.youtube.com and upload it on to there. Then they'll give you a code to put on your blog.
It's AWESOME!
Give Luke a hug from me!
I started a Flickr and a Photobucket page.. then I just put the link into the html thing I did. The pics showed up when Amz looked on her computer.. hmm :( I just wish it would work normally!
I think I might be going to Basel. My old boss was from there. Will look out for the Lakeri (I remember when you commented on them on my Zermatt post and have been looking out for them.. didn't realise they're only in Basel!).
an adorable little brown-haired boy with a big teethy grin and a red shirt that says Urban 76 on it! :)
hehe that's my newphew Jazz.. isn't he gorgeous?!
Well, I think I've fixed it now. But I have checked on all the computers here and it works, so I don't know.. are they up for you now? Thanks for the help with letting me know by the way!!
hehe newphew :) I'm sure you knew what I meant!
