Finally what vacation is supposed to feel like

This is a joint Shelton blog here....we are pleased to announce that we are in love with the Alps and could franklz staz here forever. This is what we thought vacation would be like. It is beautiful, relaxing and peaceful. The other tourists are mellow.

We hiked an actual alp today. It was amazingly beautiful but exhausting. We met some fun fellow travelers and took a path that lead us from an alpine valley of cows to the woods and behind a waterfall. Here is some info on where we are and what we hiked. August no brown bears to speak of just a lot of cows. We took the train up the mountain and then took the north face hike down but split off at the bottom to go to the falls and Gimmelwald. It was lovely but we both are quite sunburnt today. We miscalculated the amount of sunscreen needed when you are at this altitude.

We leave for Munich tomorrow and will be sad to leave this behind. Mike has furthered his obsession with pretzel bread here and hopes that a German Village baker will take up the cause so he can feed this addiction upon our return to Cbus.

We'll see you all soon and look out for our German adventures to come soon.
