There is more to Switzerland than cheese and chocolate....

After leaving Chamonix, we wondered how things could get any prettier......well, going deep into the Swiss Alps is as pretty as the edge of them in Chamonix, if not more stunning! Switzerland as a whole is a super cool country. The cities are crazy clean and there are tons of free things to do for the public. We biked, swam, saw bears, and hung out in parks all for FREE. Now there are lots of things that cost an arm and a leg too, but let's not dwell on the negative. And then, to add to its cool cities, Switzerland has.....well duh.....the Swiss Alps.
For the majority of our Alp exploring, we met up with one of my best friends from college, Maggie, and her husband Brett. They are an absolutely amazing couple on staff with Campus Outreach in Indiana. It was such an incredible blessing to see them (I hadn't seen Maggie since our wedding) and we all had a blast.



Brett, Maggie, me and Justin in the Alps!


After saying goodbye to Maggie and Brett :-(, Justin and I headed down to Zermatt, Switzerland for a couple of days, and then to the east via some scenic trains before going back into Italy where we are now.
So, all together we were in Switzerland for a week and a half this time around. We'll be going back with my parents when they come over in September. We took lots of pictures of our week and a half, so when you have a few minutes or need a break, take a look at the Alps!
