I lived in England when I was young (my dad was in the AF). Always wanted to go back there, visit Rome and Czech, where my grandparents on one side came from. It would also be wonderful to visit Jerusalem. But I’m like you Dolly, doubt I will ever get to do it - don’t want to leave the good old USA right now. Went to Mexico on business and vacation a few times (Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta, Rosarito Beach - really enjoyed each) - you couldn’t pay me enough to go there now!
Agree, the Europe of my youth doesn’t exist anymore. My son is going to Germany this summer and another hiking in the Alps..have concerns, tried to talk them out but they don’t listen.
A friend of mine’s spuse is from England; a few years ago they were thinking about moving there.
They took a trip to visit his family while they were thinking about it. She said it felt so dark and oppressive there, that she could never consider living in England. Just the feel as a Christian that she got from the place.
