So for those of you who have been following... Sorry for taking a day off. 

Yesterday we saw some of the most awesome scenery yet.  We went to "The top of Europe" also called Jungfrau Mountain.  (sounds like -- > young frow)  The train ride up was a lot cheaper if we got there early so we rode up with a few tourists but mostly construction workers that took care of the tracks.  As the ride went up to 13642 feet, our ears popped many times and the oxygen was thin so a few of us got light headed and tired.  After we adjusted we explored the ice palace tunnels which were made of nothing but ice.  (Felt like walking around in Supermans ice house.)  The floors were slippery but it just made for more fun as Chris and Aaron ran around and slide across the floors.  After that we went to the Sphinx which is the observation deck and observatory for scientists and such.  We did go outside and go sledding on our butts too.  The whole tope felt like the mountain top scene from Inception.  After that we came back to the hotel, some of slept for a bit we walked under the big waterfall near the hotel and then went out to eat.  That’s it for yesterday; today was a bunch more stuff but Ill wait a little bit to post. 

Thanks again to all those leaving comments!!!!  We appreciate it...

  1. Switzerland is now on my list of places I must go. In other news, you guys apparently JUST missed Kim Kardishain in Germany. She's there for Octoberfest. Maybe you should go back...

  2. Wowowowowow!!!!! Ice and snow and big mountains. Just more opportunities for you to do goofy things and have fun. The video is great and so are the pictures. You are having way too much fun. Hey, do they have swiss cheese there or is that a Kraft invention?
