Day 3: slept in and eased into the day. We went to some mountain (forgot the name) and hiked on it. On the way we saw some cows that had cow bells on them. As we were hiking, we could hear the bells off in the distance. Then we came across some a few feet from the path, and I could have watched them all day. Love cows. Perhaps I was meant to grow up on a farm! Picture above is one that I took.
We booked it towards the end of the hike so that my Mom and I could check out West Lake Church in Nyon, Switzerland. It's an English-speaking church, so all the sudden I feel like I'm back in the US. It was nice, comfortable. The guest pastor spoke about his mission work in India, where he has been for 30 some years. Incredible - he set up businesses to employee girls otherwise selling themselves in the sex trade. He would enter an Indian village, live there, and create businesses there where these women would work. He spoke with so much passion it was convicting. Here this guy is talking about his gritty, in-the-trenches work in India. So cool.
After the service ended we walked to the train in Nyon. It's a cool city. And the trains are ALWAYS on time. You can bet your life on it (I wouldn't tho because it's not worth betting your life on a train. doesn't make sense). I appreciate that about Switzerland: their public transportation system rocks and they're super on top of it.
We capped off the evening watching Boston Redsox vs. Yankees. Brother lives in Boston which makes us all insta-Redsox fans.
Day 3: success.
