As I sit here watching clumps of clouds and the Alps pass by below, I’m awestruck by life. When Fraulein Maria leaves the abbey in The Sound of Music, she says, ‘When the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window’… and a window He did fling open for me. I was left literally gasping …
So after getting lost and not finding Pèrouge the first time, we decided to try again a few days later. We catch the train from Geneva to Lyon, and then another train from Lyon to Meximieux and in half an hour we reach Meximieux. And Perouge is about fifteen minutes walk from the train station… …
There wasn’t much to see in Yverdon-les-Bains (E-vah-doh le bain) , but we went there nevertheless to check out some ancient Stonehenge kinda thing… that I read about on the net. The one in England is pretty fascinating… what stories those stones must have witnessed, if only they could talk… When you get down in …
I never expected to be on another trip so soon after my last trip to Europe in September 2013, but here I am sitting in my sister’s house in New Jersey, trying to complete my travel posts from last year. Well,what can I say… the horizons keep beckoning and I keep following… Now for a …

So we (me and Nam) visited Gruyères (grew yehr) one day and we didn’t want to come back. Gruyères, a tiny village perched atop a hill is about two hours from Geneva and this place looks like it jumped right out of a fairy tale book. So we get off the train and this is what greets …
So June edition of the church magazine is out… And this is the article I wrote… Lessons in Life from a Helium Balloon This is a story I heard in church when I was about ten years old. A bunch of us were being prepped to receive First Holy Communion and during the retreat that …
Well, it was supposed to be a post about Lausanne… but all we saw here were churches. Lausanne is a bustling city, so not much to see nature wise… maybe if we had gone towards the lake side, we would have seen vineyards and the beautiful shoreline of Lake Geneva. But we mostly strolled around …
So after spending most part of the day in the Sanctuary, we decided to head out to the town square… to get a feel of authentic French cuisine and to soak in the French atmosphere. And we weren’t disappointed, the roads are so pretty… and walking along them aimlessly is kinda wonderful. Check out the …
