so yes, toni and i went to switzerland. his wonderfully kind cousin barbara runs an amazing little mountain hut hotel in the alps - 3000 meters high, tucked into a tiny village of cow farmers, and invited us to stay for a full week, with no expense to us whatsoever. we had 4 course dinners and scrumptious breakfasts and mountain views. in a word, it was heaven. we have been back in berlin for a week now, and BLAH... how does anything compare to the beauty of the swiss alps? it really makes you want to quit all jobs and make cheese on a mountaintop. sigh.
at the matterhorn [even if it's covered in clouds, it's the real thing - promise!]

alaskan fireweed in switzerland too! [one of the views from our hikes around the hotel]
this was our hotel and our view. we spent lots of time reading here :) [pictures do no justice. i'm not a professional photographer, obvs.]
i really want to go back.

Jooj it looks beautiful.
so pretty, jooj. maybe we can have the p* family trip there in 2011. :) let's talk to dad.
how incredibly beautiful - and fun to see you and your toni. i would ask you to sing "the hills are alive" for me, but you are probably back in germany by now!
WOW! love the shot of the matterhorn - alaska has nothing on switzerland, eh? you guys look great - didn't realize it was all expenses paid! how did your pix get messed up? mom
I really want to go period.
It looks so gorgeous there! And that cottage sounds like heaven. I've often though of raising goats, but maybe for cashmere, so that I could live in a beautiful mountain side somewhere.
neal has always wanted to quit everything and make cheese. i smell a family business. :)
