Switzerland 2009


In September Joe and I had the pleasure of joining our friends Barbara and Jurg to celebrate their wedding day and spend their honeymoon entertaining us in Switzerland.



Barbara and Jurg live in Wilderswil, Switzerland. While there we enjoyed great friends, great food, amazing weather and incredible days exploring the Bernese Alps.



We learned that in Switzerland, dress shoes are not allowed on the trails.


Ibex's watch you from above.


And the views go on in all directions....





Cows can be heard from every direction.....


It is a truly serene and peaceful place
