Switzerland Revisited

We didn't actually revisit Switzerland--it was just so darned expensive that I figured we had better get two blog posts out of it. You know it's expensive when you return to Germany and are relieved at the "normal" prices. You also know how staunch the Swiss are when you return to Germany and find the people gregarious and free-wheeling! The truth is, you visit Switzerland for the scenery and we have so many beautiful pictures we'd like to share some more.








The Swiss do a great job of preserving their heritage and mixing in modern commercial interests like ski resorts. The continuation of mountain farming must be supported by government subsidies or taxes paid by foolish tourists that pony up $55 for a campsite. Either way, I think it's worth it.









I took this photo to compare it to one that I took in '95 when the glacier was noticeably larger. Darn those methane-spewing mountain cows!



Everyone should have a water feature in their backyard. Or three of them in this case (too many waterfalls-not enough camera lens).


Checking out the rabbit hutch.



Checking out the backside of a waterfall.

Tonight we are in Freiburg, Germany but close to France and we will head there in the morning. Freiburg is a nice little university town and we stayed an extra day because we really enjoyed it.
