“Unpopular” Waves

Finally vacations!
After arriving Tuesday 11.09.2007 a bus ride took Andrea and me Thursday morning from busy Istanbul through the province to a Podunk! But what a beautiful one!

Two rivers, the Black Sea, woods, animals (mostly fish), waterfalls, a small fishing town, cliffs, sandy beaches…. and deeply red sunsets.
That was the best place to allow your brain to rest! We had wonderful warm (28 degrees) weather…. At least for me, Andrea, used to 40 degrees, was wearing a thick sweater…. J Changing our clothes with a bathing suit and off we went….. Where? The Beach! First thought and first destination….

What I did not expect was that the beach would be that great! No one was there, we had a good breeze, high waves, fine sand and water temperatures as sitting in your bathtub. It just trilled me!!!

In such situations I cannot believe how heaven must be like. I simply cannot imagine that there will be something more stunning than that view! Meditating on that the Lord planted some incredible peace into my heart. Rarely though, but sometimes being on earth you are actually close to heaven….

Dear Claudia,

yes, this was heaven on earth... Not only the nice beach and surrounding but also having a lot of time to relax and to talk. Thank you very much for your visit in Turkey and for your friendship. Blessings Andrea
