Observations about the wonderful, unexpected, and sometimes mundane things that should be noticed and celebrated whether found two steps out the door or thousands of miles away.

Visiting Europe without a Plane Flight
Last night my church returned to 1569 and held a dinner with King Sigismund and Queeen Isabella from Transylvania. We celebrated the first kingdom that declared religious freedom. Before dinner drinks were Hungarian wine and the unique plum brandy found in the Transylvania area. The dinner entree included Hungarian sausage, potatoes, salad, and two unique Hungarian dishes: goulash -- not what most Americans think of when they envision goulash -- and a wonderful mushroom dish. We were serandaded by strolling musicians. After dinner we adjourned to the nearby sanctuary area for Hungarian dancing. We returned to our table to find a wonderful chocolate torte. All of this plus wonderful conversation indeed made it an evening in Europe without the annoying plane flight.
