Jo’s Monday Walk2017-Wk-11
Lucerne
Recently I completed a book titled
Song of the Bellbirds
written by an Australian author
Anne McCullagh Rennie.
Song of the Bellbirds follows the fortunes of a
young Australian Singer who wins a scholarship
to study Opera in Vienna.
One day her European born husband takes her to Lucerne…
and they wander across the Chapel Bridge.
As they walk arm in arm they admire the craftsmanship
taken to build the bridge…
and the Austrian husband translates all these writings
under the bridge’s roof for our Aussie Diva.
Just wish he was there when we were.
As you may have noticed the outside of the bridge
was covered with flowers in September…
and there was even room for a busker to
entertain tourists and locals alike.
So, not a long walk this week but one
I will remember for a very long time.

Thank you. We have noticed that many of our ‘reads’ are more alive if we have visited the area…especially those set in Europe. Even if we only touched the ‘tip of the iceberg’, so to speak.
