## Caption

Fog hangs densely on the mountains that soar above the small village like sheltering arms. Waterfalls descend into cold, alpine streams that bring a melody which echoes between charming wälderhaus, the white steeple of the town’s church and the stores that sell food to residents and supplies to visitors who come to ski or hike. Window boxes and flower beds spill over with black eyed susans and anemones; colorful compliments to the aged wood shingles of the homes and the timber lines of the town hall and kindergarten. The village of Mellau, and everyone from visitvorarlberg, welcomed our tiny #PropelVorarlberg conference group this week with a kindness and warmth I don’t think I’ve felt under any circumstance for 18 months. To begin traveling again is one sublime blessing but to do it for the first time in so long by visiting Austria again has filled me with gratefulness. To also be amongst friends I’ve known for a decade, all fully vaccinated and testing every few days and wearing masks when required, is beyond words. I missed you travel, thanks for having me back. Thank you, Vorarlberg for hosting me.
