We left Chamonix (May 28) to drive to Interlaken, Switzerland, with intent to explore and be discoverers all day long. Here are a few bits of Switzerland we found along the way...
Just outside of Chamonix
One of the names we gave this trip--"the waterfall trip." The spring runoff gave us quite a show by coming down off the mountains in the form of hundreds of waterfalls. This photo shows a little of what we saw. If you look in the lower third of the photograph, you will see several waterfalls tumbling down the side of a cliff. What a perfect time of year to witness this!
The streams and rivers were also very high and fast flowing.
The little town of Jaun, Switzerland.

This is you, Dad, taking photos in one of the prettiest spots on Earth!
This is a spring. Did you get that?....a spring! It gushes straight out of the mountain... I had always thought of springs as being little gurgling, bubbling things. But no, they can also be really powerful waterfalls. My perception of the world is changed yet again. I love travelling!
The spring waters of Jaun, Switzerland.More soon!

I still can't get over how beautiful it is there. I have always wanted to go to Switzerland, and this just solidifies my desire. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. It looks so...picturesque. Was it really that peaceful and beautiful? Unbelievable.
Kari, yes, it really was that peaceful and beautiful, and it's right in your backyard! Mallena--you MUST go someday! Come visit--we're only a couple of hours away. :)
