This is Martin who did all the translating for me on this retreat. Without him I would be quite disconnected from the times when we met for prayer or teaching time. There were many from this group who spoke enough english (and me enough Slovak) that we could get to know each other. But there are several more who without Martins help I could not get to know.
Here we are on top of an observation tower about 60 feet off the ground. From here we could see for miles in every direction, a sea of colors and incredible beauty. It was a bit windy this day so the tower was swaying a little which made for some ticklish moments.
