Geographic landmarks: Lake Lucerne, Swiss Alps

1. Lion Monument

The view from our hotel room is gorgeous; you can see the snow covered
Swiss Alps in the distance. Our hotel is in a ski village, kinda Lake Tahoe-ish. Cynthia and I sat on the balconey at night and watched the stars. It was a perfectly clear night. We sawe weird flashes of light behind the mountains but concluded it was probably some military exercise. I love the warm, down blankets that our rooms had.

1. Chapel Bridge
2. Jesuit Church
3. Mt. Pilatus: we reached the peak by cog railways and went down by gondolas. We saw cute, floppy eared cows with huge bells around their necks grazing on the hills. At the top, there were cobblestone tunnels and passageways. There's a lot of dragon folklore associaled with Mt. Pilatus.
4. Spreuer Bridge
5. Water Tower

1. Lake Cruise, the captain let one of the guys jump into the lake for a swim.

I bought tons of Lindt chocolate; I hope it doesn't melt! Tip: buy chocolate and food at grocery stores; it's cheaper there. I also bought four swiss army knives, one for each sister.
