| The view from our hostel window |
 |
| some swiss flags in Lauterbrunnen |
 |
| A beautiful church in Lauterbrunnen that we passed on our walk on our first day |
 |
| One of the largest of the 72 waterfalls that fall into the Lauterbrunnen Valley |
 |
| A glacier way up above the valley |
 |
| Still Lauterbrunnen |
 |
| from the train up Jungfrau the second day |
 |
| Wengen, a small town above lauterbrunnen on the way up jungfrau. it snowed the night before, but Lauterbrunnen is just low enough to get rain instead, at least for now. |
 |
| train ride to the "top of Europe" |
 |
| Me at a stop on the way, with the North Face of the Eiger in the background. |
 |
| Anya and me on the train. |
 |
| A stunning view from a look off point directly on the north face; the train tunnels through the mountain behind it. |
 |
| From the station at the top. the Highest railway station in europe, at 3,454 meters, and 11,333 feet above sea level. |
 |
| fearless birds |
 |
| The backside of the Eiger |
 |
| The Eiger in the background, the north face is just on the other side of it. |
 |
| Anya and me with the Eiger |
 |
| Bowdoin Polar bears in the ice palace that exists beside the station. |
 |
| it was really cold outside, somewhere below freezing and very windy. glad I brought the down jacket even though it felt ridiculous to have it when in Greece |
 |
| The side of the Monch peak. |
 |
| The three famous peaks from left to right: Eiger, Monch, Jungfrau, and the train station is some where up there between 2 of them. |
 |
| The Lauterbrunnen Valley from Wengen |
 |
| Our rainy hike to Murren; we passed at least 20 streams roaring from the night's snow and rain. |
 |
| Lauterbrunnen our last evening with the waterfall in the back and 2 more behind it and 1 barely visible on the far left |
 |
| Our dear hostel. if you ever go, stay here. |
 |
| me on the train with my bar of chocolate that the hostel gave me. But really, I was very sad to go, but the chocolate helped a little bit. |
