Lauterbrunnen Valley Day 2

We're losing track of the days, so we don't know what to title our entries anymore! :-)

Ahhhh, Switzerland. I don't even know what to say, because it is all so beautiful and indescribable. After posting pictures yesterday, we went for a hike along the river. We hiked for hours, losing track of time and just enjoying the views from every twist and turn, the wildflowers, the different butterflies and insects.... it is all so amazing! The air is so clean and fresh, and you can smell the scent of trees and flowers. We hiked past big sheep, and stopped to feed them grass. They make interesting bleating noises - different from American sheep (isn't that funny?)

Today we are going to tackle the high altitude alpine hikes, the ones that you have to take a very scary gondola ride to get to. (You all know how deathly afraid of heights I am!) I'm taking inspiration from my friend Melissa, whose descriptions of her gondola ride in Chamonix sounded amazing. Plus this is a hike I really want to do, so I'll just have to deal.

All the stores close early today, so I don't know if we'll be able to post anymore after our hike, but we'll give you and update as soon as we can.

And a big hi to Julie and her summer school class. This is why you have to work hard in school, so that you can do all of these crazy fun things when you get older. We have seen so many teenagers in our travels. And today we met other people who are here from Houston and from Dallas. All of our Revere kids would love these experiences! (OK, teacher voice going back on vacation now!) :-)
