Imagination Is Insufficiant

A week ago, I had no idea what was in store for the days to come. Who knew that I would find a group from Couchsurfing.org to go outdoor bouldering with, learn to lead climb in a rock gym, do a via ferrata in the Alps, and then get to lead climb outdoors the next day. 

That life. I can't get enough of it. 

Not only did I do all of the above, but I did it all in the context of French. Which means all of the climbing and technical terms involved in the process were French words. And, in the moments where I was most terrified, I had to explain myself in French, because all of their words of advice and encouragement were in French. Yikes. Just imagine how fast that could go downhill if I mixed up my verbs and vocab. Praise the Lord, I'm alive.

All that to say.... this has been an incredible week! I am so grateful for the amazing opportunities and the cool people that God sent my way.
