+ I don't know when I will get back to the Alps but I thought I would do some reminiscing and some thinking about a possible future trip.
+ I first saw the Alps from Heidelberg in 1990. But maybe I was seeing other mountains (Jura Mountains?) and just thought they were the Alps. We had planned to get to Switzerland in that trip but time ran out as we went spent too much time in Norway. No, not really. How could one ever spend too much time in Norway? Some one said that if Norway was placed in the USA, the whole country would be designated a National Park. Well, the same could surely be said of Switzerland.
+ I got to see the Alps from the air on a trip to the Holy Land in 1992. They are very impressive from above.
+ In 2004, we (Mary & I) finally got to the Alps. Our first sighting of these majestic mountains happened in Geneva. A better view came when we took a train up into the Jura Mountains North of Lake Geneva. It's a famous narrow gauge line. We were on as many children chattered and laughed and cheered because they were going home on the last day of school. We could see many of the high peaks including Mont Blanc in the French Alps from a viewpoint just a short hike from the St-Cergue station. Nyon on the lake offers another great viewpoint. Of course, there are so many more.
+ We went South to Monaco & Italy before returning to Switzerland where are destination was Interlaken. We took a train through the beautiful Italian foothills and then the Italian Alps.
+ If you love trains, you must visit Switzerland.
