seeing switzerland

Yesterday was Swiss National Day and we enjoyed a mid-week day off to sleep in, workout (Martin) and take a long run (me), watch the Olympics, and see The Dark Knight Rises. I also took some time to go through the rest of my photos from my mini-vacation around Switzerland with my parents a few weeks ago.

As I look back, I am reminded of the diverse beauty of Switzerland and how much more we still have to see around this country. From hikes to lakeside views, we saw sights old and new that awed us. Here are some highlights. It is really amazing that it isn’t rainy in any of these photos as it rained for so much of the week. It dampened some days of wandering, but it did make everything we saw even more green.
