EuroTour 2018 Photos


We finally sorted all of our photos from our trip to Europe this fall. You can find all the albums at www.SwinglesEuroTour2018.Shutterfly.com.



Here are the individual albums:



We started our trip in Copenhagen, Denmark...






Follow us into Tivoli Gardens and to other wonderful sites

in Copenhagen.

Then we presented in Denmark and Sweden on the same day...






Joyce was translated (through headphones) into Danish. Swedish translations

were used for Rich's performance of Big Fish Little Worm that evening.



We spent a couple of days in Randers and Ørsted, Denmark, where Joyce's grandfather and great grandparents lived...






Solve the mystery of the golden boot in

Randers and Ørsted, Denmark

Back to work in Oslo, where Rich performed I Dreamed I Was Free at the Nordic Black Theatre and Joyce shared her testimony...






...and we had a shockingly great time in Norway.

Then to Finland to perform for the Nazarenes and catch up with Timo, the Swingle's foreign exchange student when Rich was in college...






This church was our first stop on our tour of Helsinki.

Next we spent time in Sweden with Niklas, a foreign exchange student from Rich's youth, who inspired this whole trip. We were delighted to meet his wife, Jenny...






We loved spending the day with Niklas and Jenny on the island of Öland,

Sweden.

Then to Frankfurt to perform I Dreamed I Was Free, and Joyce brought the Sunday morning message...






After our presentations we relaxed with dear friends in the Rhine Valley,

Germany.

With all major presentations out of the way we started our 21st honeymoon in Switzerland...






We found lots of swans and lots of references to Rich's ancestor's brother,

Ulrich Zwingli, in Zurich, St. Gallen, and Wildhaus, Switzerland.

... with a stop in Liechtenstein...






...where we did an enacted prayer for the nation and stopped in

Triesenberg, Liechtensteinwhich Rich's mother's

family is named after. 

...and then a 24-hour stop in Iceland on the way home...






It doesn't look like it, but we were about to dive into that water, which

was actually quite warm in Iceland.

















I Dreamed I Was Free tells the story of Quaker abolitionist John Woolman, who spoke against slavery a century before our Civil War.
