Mountains, Lakes, and Sunsets

 
The view from my room!
          Driving, u-turning, napping and beautiful scenery were the main activities of Sunday. We drove from Dachau, German to Thun, Switzerland through Liechtenstein.   We also stopped in Lucern and got see several awesome bridges! When we arrived at the brothers house, we were welcomed by Brother Thomas and got to eat some delicious food! The brotherhood that we are staying with work along side us in Congo and so they are putting us up while we are in Switzerland! We are so very thankful for the work they do in Congo and their hospitality. 

One part of the huge waterfall
We took it easy, yesterday morning and then Dad, Shannon and I hiked up to this awesome bridge! We hiked to some little bridges first and saw this beautiful huge waterfall. The bridge was so geometric and huge!



I didn't mean to take this picture, but I like it!



The geometry!

It was so long!



The view from the bridge!

Shannon looking off the bridge and if
 you can tell Dad is clutching the side, poor guy!


Sun in the mountains!

Look at those cables!


Yes, that helicopter is lower than us!

So high up!

          Today, Dad and Mom went to a meeting while Shannon, Ryan and me went on a hike up Niederhorn mountain. Beautiful views followed us everywhere we hiked! We hiked 6 km and it took us 5 hours including our sack lunch break! We rode up a funicular and a cable car, it was so cool! Today was so much fun and so gorgeous!

Riding the funicular!
Havin' so much fun!
Why, hello there, cows!
The mountains! Oh the mountains!

Look at para-glider, I want to do that!

Lakes and mountains, they are the best!


Paragliding!

Snow, and yes, it was that steep

Baby hiker!

Almost there!

At the top of Neiderhorn, there was a playground with a zipline!

I love ziplines, both Ryan and I rode it!

Oh, and Sydney!

Getting ready to go down the slide!

Hoorah!

Sunset over the lake, who could ask for a better ending for the day!
