“The mountains are calling and I must go.”John Muir


What have we been doing in the past month or so? Spending as much time as possible in the mountains! Including …staying a few nights, at the end of September, in Zermatt and getting great views of the Matterhorn; taking the mountain train up Rigi in October, with it’s spectacular circular view; staying overnight in Muerren and waking up to see the mountains from our balcony; not to mention taking a boat ride on Lake Luzern surrounded by too many mountains to list. In the midst of all these wanderings, my friend Karen came from St. Charles to soak-up some mountain beauty for herself. I will try to encourage Jesse not to post too many photos below, but it’s probably a waste of time! Thanks for viewing.

Papi, you got a shot of the white and black mountain goat! I am soooo jealous! I will be printing that - thank you. See you in a month!

Wow. I want to take the Susan Switzerland tour! And that shot of the person sailing through the clouds on the glider is amazing.
