So we decided to go for an adventure and get out of the city on Saturday. We got up early and left our apartment about 7:30 in the morning to go to the bus station and get a ticket. We forgot that the trams don't run as often on Saturday, so we got to the station just in time to try and decipher the signs of this unknown language we are surrounded by and get tickets. Not to worry, we got there with enough time to get something from "American Donut." We couldn't help but laugh. After a little over two hours on a bus riding into the countryside, we found ourselves at Plitvička Jezera National Park. We got off the bus only to be greeted by no sunshine in sight, misty rain falling, and temperatures in the 40s. Once again, we had to laugh that we chose a day like that to take our adventure. We grabbed some lunch at a nice restaurant there that had translated things on the menu like "potatoes cooked under a bell." Still not sure exactly what that means, but the food was delicious.
Despite the weather and lack of sunshine, the breathtaking beauty we discovered at this park made it all worth it. We hiked through some mountains and took in the beautiful waterfalls and leaves changing colors that reminded us that it was autumn. We rode a boat that took us to the other side of the park and took several pictures. It was definitely one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.How thankful we were to have this time to share together and soak in the beauty of God's creation. Saturday, God reminded me to just stop and be in awe of Him and to remember all that He provides.Sometimes in the chaos of life, we just need to take the time to step back and rest in the fact that our Heavenly Father is in control.
Thanks for reading :)
