Switzerland

Switzerland was absolutely breathtaking. The scenery, the cities, the friendliness of the people has been very delightful. Our favorite memory was the trip to the Jungfrau mountain - to the top of Europe!

This is a picture of the Jungfrau mountain that took us 2 hours to get to the top. the ride there was incredible. cold, but incredible.

Huemoz Switzerland is where Stephen studied philosophy during his graduate studies under the great philosopher Frances Schaefer. The school is called L'Abri. Dr. Oz Guinness and Dr. Rokmacher (from the Netherlands Dept. of National Art) were also professors at that time.

We arrived at the around 10:00 a.m. at the chalets (see picture) that are used for the study of philosophy of religion in the little Alpine village. Lectures are still being offered by resident teachers and every Wednesday a lecture was given by a guest philosopher/theologian. There were many tapes of various philosophy scholars available for independent study as well. It is a wonderful place for thought, theological reflection, and biblical study. After this experience however, Jayna decided to leave the philosophy and theology to Steve, she would concentrate on her grandchildren and gardening!
