A Few Thousand Feet Closer to Heaven




That's certainly how it seems, here in Grindelwald, at the foot of the Eiger in central Switzerland. Unless you just can't live without a beach or swamp nearby, I can't imagine anyone not being utterly impressed - and refreshed - visiting this place. We spent 3 fantastic Thanksgivings here from 1989-91 but had not been back since. The fresh air, relaxed life style, and sheer majesty of the scenery all remain completely unchanged. Thank God for small blessings. Actually, these are pretty large blessings! From parasailing off a mountain top to blazing our own trail near a glacier gorge to riding at top speed down an aluminum summer bobsled track to buying the freshest milk in the world (just hours "old"), this gorgeous area gets a definite 6-thumbs-up from all of us!
