GetOffYourCouch

So much catching up to do!







Since my Turkey blog I have been a negligent blogger. We are hoping to return to Turkey. We almost made it during the 2007 Eid but Dennis's dad was too sick and we ended up in Oklahoma instead. Here is a list of our travels since the 2005 trip to Turkey (in addition to family reunions):

Switzerland June 2005 -
After a particularly difficult year of work, we retreated to the hiking trails of Interlaken.

Following an eight month withdrawal to the mountains of Switzerland where Shoghi Effendi had gone to gain "health, strength, self-confidence and spiritual energy", and during which time he led a spartan life, on some days walking for more than forty kilometres over Alpine passes and climbing mountains for sixteen hours without rest, the Guardian returned to Haifa on 15 December 1922 to relieve his great-aunt, Bahíyyih Khánum, of the leadership responsibilities which she had so faithfully executed during his absence.
