Speaker/Host: David Pace

The Alps are the highest and most extensive mountain range which lies entirely within Europe, stretching across seven countries. David and Mary Pace recently took a trip through four of those countries, starting in Northern Italy, then touring the Swiss Alps on the Glacier Express train, and continuing through Austria, and Southern Germany. Their trip included seeing the once-per-decade Passion Play in Oberammergau. In this photo travelogue, David Pace will share their experiences in these beautiful Alpine lands.
