A Summer in Pictures

June 15, 2019 my husband took me to Switzerland for our anniversary. Weeelll, not really. That was the choice Caleb made for his "after graduation destination." Then we were off to the U.S. for family fun and shopping and driving, lots of driving.


            Some views from our apartment window; no,I never got a photo of the place we stayed but you can look it up: Bible Guesthouse, Beatenberg, Switzerland. 
The most famous mountains of the area in the distance (Jung Frau)

 


          Took a cable car to the top of the Niederhorn, walked back down to the half-way station, got back on the cable car for the rest of the way down and a boarded a bus into Interlaken.




















And we went off again on another explore the next day. This time on foot descending the mountain. Destination? Back to Interlaken to meet friends.

Probably the most photographed home in the town.

 If you look carefully you can see steps that we just came down. Then, below, you can see where we still need to go to get to the lake. Well, you can't really see where but you can see the height we are above the water, maybe. Anyway, it is a loooong way down. 












We made it to the boat just in time,
We met up with our friends at the train station and enjoyed a fabulous afternoon. 




 

















The local Wal-Mart
This is the "local store" we were directed to when I asked where I could buy local products. Do you see a store clerk? We didn't either. It is an honor system, on the side of a mountain in a quaint town in the south of Switzerland. 
 
OK, so visiting Switzerland wasn't the longest part of the summer but it was the most photographed! I think I'll make another page for the rest of the weeks.
