 Photos are parts of Switzerland.  We just landed in Zurich and on our way to the Hotel.  The images don't give Switzerland justice.  I must say it has to be one of the most beautiful countries I've been in.

 Part of our view from Hotel Central.  I love it!!! If you just glanced to the other side you would see the river.
 On our way to the Swiss Alps.  I have never seen such beauty.  It is defiantly God's Country.

 The journey to Jungfraujoch (Alps). This is a col or saddle between the Monch and the Jungfau in the Bernese Alps on the boundary between the cantons of Bern and Valais, inside the Jungfrau Aletsch protected area.
Strictly, the Jungfraujoch is the lowest point on the mountain ridge between Monch and Jungfrau, at 3, 471 meters (11,388 ft).  It is just above this location that the mountain station of Jungfraubahn.  It is the highest railway station in Europe.  Jungfraubahn is often calle the "Top of Europe."
 The Sphinx 11, 717 ft is a peak that lies just to the east of the col. 
 Jenn and I inside the Sphinx.
 Overlooking the Swiss Alps.
 Top of the world baby!!
 Dinner at Liechtenstein.. It's own country, only 106 miles.  Just a quick stop.
Sorry...back-tracking again..Part of the Swiss Alps.

We are having a great and unforgettable time.  I will try to post tomorrow night...The girls play there first soccer game so it may take a little longer.  I hope all is well...And my friends I expect all of you to be able to pronounce all those fancy Swiss words...
