One of the great things about our trip was that we overviewed thousands of years of world history, culture and human achievement. So what were the highlights? Here are some quick awards...
1. Best Landmark - The Statue of Liberty, in a close playoff with the Eiffel Tower. They're both grand achievements of the nineteenth century, and both are structurally engineered by Gustav Eiffel. What a genius. The design of Lady Liberty herself is art on a grand scale.
2. Best airline flight - After 10 flights over seven weeks, we became used to cramped conditions. But as I mentioned in a previous post, the V-Australia flight from LA to Brisbane was the best of our trip. Spacious plane, fast service, good entertainment system and good meals made the time pass quickly.
3. Best Church Service - It might be for sentimental reasons, but after visiting some of the great evangelical churches of the world, the church family we felt most connected with was at Arborfield with Piers and Carolyn Bickersteth. There are low key but exciting things happening there, and everyone loves to be part of it. Tim Keller's sermon at Redeemer New York was excellent too.
