  1. So glad that this adventure was everything you dreamed and more. HPC is not just Clark’s church - We are your family! Most could never do this in a lifetime, less a summer. But hey... he was long overdue for a sabbatical, right? Had to make up for lost time... 😉 Thanks for blogging and posting all those fabulous pics so we could keep up with your travels!
