Guys and girl,

Yesterday, I went up on the Swiss peak, Säntis, to spread Phil's ashes. At 8,209', the Säntis offers views of six countries (Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Italy and France). My parents, a niece, a cousin and his girlfriend came with me. Ultimately, my mom and I climbed up the last portion, because my dad had to stay back with my niece and my cousin and his girlfriend weren't wearing the right shoes. We said a little prayer, sang a few songs and then spread Phil's ashes. I think Phil would approve of the spot.

Here are a few pictures:

I hope everyone is doing well. I'm heading back to Lafayette tomorrow. 

At this point also a special shoutout of congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Lovett!

Scott is fixing the website right now; apparently, the database was somehow corrupted, so that it wasn't loading correctly.

All the best,
Adrian

That brought tears to my eyes.  Fitting resting place for a soaring soul.  It gets harder as time goes on.

Adi-

That is so awesome man. Thank you so much for keeping Phil's 'international jet-setter' persona going! I'm sure he's looking down with a smile, sitting at his favorite table at the big Outback in the sky, enjoying a blooming onion and scoffing at the fools who have chosen Longhorn. Actually, there's no Longhorn in Phil's heaven. What was I thinking? Safe travels Adi.

Incredible. Certainly a place on earth worthy of what Phil left behind. 

Thanks for the well wishes Adrian! You guys don't hesitate to email me if I can help with our event over the next 2 weeks. That's one thing I don't mind spending a little time on.

Amazing Pics, Adrian.  Thanks for sharing them.  We should include some of them on the website for sure...
