Sorry for the delay in posting! We arrived in Hungary by the grace of God! Thank you for praying. We actually had to fly to get here. Our plan was to use our Eurail passes, which we did. But those passes couldn't get us to Hungary in time. Thank God for Ryan Air which got us to Vienna in time for our conference and at a reasonable price. If you ever travel Europe you must know that Ryan Air is awesome. Only 20€ to get from Milan to Vienna. Getting to Milan from Marseille by train was a lesson for Amber in culture. She didn't know you could fit so many people on a train!! Personal space was definitely invaded along the way, but nonetheless, we made it!

Now for some long awaited pics! The picture above is of a cool building in Milan,Italy. Amber took this picture and I liked the shot.

The Duomo (cathedral) in Milan, Italy. (left) We did not expect to travel through Italy, but we definitely made the most of it. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner that night and of course, some Italian wine from the Chianti region. Delicioso!

These pictures below are of Notre Dame in Marseille, France. (Notre Dame means 'Our lady', which refers to Mary, the mother of Jesus. It is common for there to be a Notre Dame in most cities of France. Most Americans think that Notre Dame is just in Paris. I thought this until I visited other cities in France.) Notre Dame Marseille sits on the top of the hill and this church is the 'protector' of the port of Marseille. People come to this cathedral and ask Mary to heal their city, heal their children, protect the port. So this church is the religious and spiritual marker for the entire city. There were hundreds of visitors that day. It felt more like a museum than a place of worship.
