Friends Jaquelin and Sarah flew me over to photograph their wedding! The celebration included 500 guests, and by the time I left the reception at nearly 4am approx. 20 guests remained-- dancing the night away!!! The Alps were veiled by overcast skies, so I had to use my imagination a bit, but the autumn colors against a backdrop of vineyards and villages made this land stunning. I was able to take a train to Bern, the capital city, to visit Miriam (a friend from Logos II days), and was also delighted to meet many wonderful people tucked into life in this beautiful, French speaking pocket of the world!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7H8k9dyfC5g/SukuNhSxQ3I/AAAAAAAABJg/LgtuHFCqwW0/s1600-h/100_2743.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7H8k9dyfC5g/SukuNhSxQ3I/AAAAAAAABJg/LgtuHFCqwW0/s400/100_2743.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397896438190523250" /></a><br />Zurich Airport: Jack and Sarah on the way to their honeymoon, me on my way back home.
