Climbing Every Mountain... starts at 1

Today we got up with quite a relaxed schedule. We ate breakfast and then went to get some Swiss Francs. We decided to go up a mountain today. The day started foggy so we went to check out the city of Schweiz and to the Swiss Army Knife Store. We also got some sandwiches for lunch to eat during our hike.
To start the hike we had to take a Funicular up the first part of the mountain. While we were waiting for the Funicular, we had a beer (the best prehike activity) and saw a car accident. Everyone was okay except the hood of the bad drivers car. He pushed it down, they exchanged info and went on. We then started our trip up the mountain.
The Funicular went up about 1/3 of the mountain. The top was at1922m.

Boy are we exhausted! I don't know what is the most difficult part... the impact on the knees as we walked down or the walk to the chair lifts to get up the mountain... that's right we went on the chair lifts. It was probably the scariest thing I have done this quarter. That is why there are no pictures. We were not playing around during this chair lift.
Also, there are cow pastures all over the mountains... we walked by one... they often would run up to me... I got licked by one lucky cow! Now it is time to rest!

I loved the picture of you and Bob. He seems to be a little shadowy in this picture (LOL). Hey did you love the way the cows tongue felt? They feel just like a cats tongue. Those are some stunning views. Glad all is well with you guys.
That picture with the cross is crazy. What a view!
