most memorable
was
our trip
to
the
bernese

early
in
the
morning.

to a gondola
and then
to a cute little
steam engine train
that took
us
up
up
up
the mountain....

until we
were finally
in mürren.

the view
was
breathtaking

other things
more
entertaining.

a picturesque
spot
for dinner...

ate

watched
the sun
disappear
behind
the mountains...

well,
except
vee,
she
bounced
the evening
away
on
the trampoline!



she
did
stop
ever so
briefly
to enjoy
the sunset
(and pizza).

sunset (31juli).
