After driving 650 miles back to Vienna, it was time for us to part ways with Daniel & Edyta.They are such wonderful people and...friends. We have grown to love their gentle, joyful and, so often comical spirits. I don't know when Lynn and I ever laugh so much.We're thankful for their role in our lives and the lives of so many others affected through their ministry and calling.This has been a trip we will never forget.

A laughter filled evening in wonderful Montenegro. Doesn't get much better than this!

After picking up the wooden plaque Lynn wanted, we left Mostar wondering if I'll ever see this unforgettable place again. We soon crossed the border into Croatia and found ourselves driving along the stunning Dalmatian Coast. Huge mountains stacked one after the other dropping straight into the sea; impossible to describe with words. Picture after picture taken, none of them doing justice to the natural majesty. Shortly we encountered the well known city of Dubro...
