More of the Jungfrau

I hope it's not getting tiresome viewing pictures of our experiences here in Switzerland. Life between our little trips is pretty much just normal life for us both. Once we got used to what "normal" is here it isn't all that exciting. I am still amazed by the diversity of nationalities and cultures that is in Geneva and that will never seem mundane.



The above picture is taken from a bench outside a church in Wengen were Steve and I sat and just took in the beauty for a long time. We are looking down on the Lauterbrunnen valley and falls.

This tme I got to use the camera. Pictures of Steve are few and far between.











The above pictures are all of a waterfall called Trummelbach. This is an interesting fall because it is inside the mountain rather than outside. You take an elevator up inside the mountain so you are in a cave, and then you walk down the trail viewing the falls from different vantage points as you descend.




Steve has take this picture of the church steeple with the falls in the background before when we were here, but that was either the visit 25 years ago, or the one 13 years ago.



The Lauterbrunnen Valley and Falls are one of the memorable places from when I was in the Jungfrau region before. From Lauterbrunnen you can get to the top of either side of the valley by cog rail or gondola. The two most notable towns at the top are Wengen and Muren.


I love the cows just peacefully grazing amidst such grandeur. They are totally unaware of the beauty which surrounds them--not that cows have the ability to appreciate beautiful surroundings. We, on the other hand, do have the ability to appreciate the beauty of the world around us and hope to make the most of our experience here.

We hope you all have a great week. We think of all our family and friends all the time and are looking forward to our trip home in July.
