My parents have been visiting so I left the laptop at home for the week while we showed them some sights. I have a ton to catch up on (email, work, etc and if I owe you a phone call or email bare with me for the next couple days) but I feel like sharing just some of the pictures since there are some great ones. I also posted
a Quicktime Movie of the view from Gornergrat glacier (10+ MB); it gives a sense for the panorama from up on top of the Alps.
It's easy to get up in the morning to run when this is the view down the trail:
While climbing the Matterhorn wasn't on our list, we did ride the 3 enormous gondolas to the Kleine Matterhorn summit where the skiers get their turns in every day of the year:
The view from on top down the valley to Zermatt:
The old city wall of Lucerne:
The Rhein Falls (biggest waterfall in Europe)
And one of me on top of Kleine Matterhorn:
I'm feeling recharged and ready to knock out some projects between now and the holidays!
