Where in the world are Jeff and Mary?

Some of you already know where we are headed on Saturday so do not give it away if you know. We have been to this country once before in 2004. This is a picture of the capital city taken from a tram that runs up the mountain giving a spectacular view of the city. We leave Saturday morning at 6:50 and arrive at 8:45 pm with a two hour time change. So it is not nearly as far as we sometimes go. We are a bit nervous and I have told the kids I am taking a long book just in case we have to spend some extra time there. (Supposed to be funny). It is a very beautiful country that very few people get to see. Where do you think we are headed?

Thank you pioneers. Happy Pioneer Day

A few years ago Jeff and I went to Martins Cove as the Medical people. We did the trek there with a handcart. It was an amazing humbling experience to see where the pioneers trekked. It is very tough country. We saw where wives left there husbands and children's bodies hung in trees so they would not have to see the wolves eat them. The ground was frozen so they could not bury them. We crossed the streams they crossed in freezing water and climbed the hills they climbed with their handcarts. Take a minute to remember those who crossed the country in terrible circumstances. Look at Berta's blog today. She has a story of the rescue. It will make you very appreciative of what you have and what many sacrificed.
