Switzerland was Beautiful



Top of Europe

In Switzerland, we took a train up Jungfrauhoch - the highest peak in Europe. It was 11,333 ft. We went outside when we got to the top - we were so high, the views looked like we were in an airplane. They also had an "ice palace." We went though a long ice tunnel and came out in an ice room with statues of eskimos, penguins, etc.  





Biking in Switzerland

We stayed a few days in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. One of the favorite things on our whole vacation was the bike trip we did there. We rented bicycles, took them up the gondola, and rode them between two small towns. Then we took the train back to our original town and rode the gondola back down. Abby loved riding along on our backs. The views were fantastic the whole way. God's creation is so amazing. We were sore for a couple days after this ride. :-)

Going to Geneva

This is us taking the train out of Venice - then we drove to Geneva. We visited St. Pierre's Cathedral, which is the church where John Calvin preached. That's Abby posing as John Calvin. We also visited Chateau Chillon, located on the edge of Lake Geneva.

Venice

We had a FANTASTIC vacation in Europe. I'll get pics posted of other places later, but we spent the first week in Venice. We spent a lot of time outside of the town center and liked the slow pace and pretty gardens. Abby was a great little traveller.
