Hunde-Laufgruppe at Tierheim Surber

Vitznau - Hinterbergen - Milttlerschwanden - Vierwaldstattersee - Lucerne

 which way to go?

 looking over Lake of Lucerne (Vierwaldstattersee) towards Mt. Pilatus

 the long climb in the beginning is not the most fun part, but worth the effort!

the trip back to Luzern by ship.  the hike was on the hill above the town (Vitznau) on the left.

Rewind to Winter

 just when I thought winter was over... more cold and snow on Easter morning!

Visited Kyburg Castle this weekend.  Built around 1027 A.D!

Merry Christmas!!!  Frohe Weihnachten!!!

We finally got "Schnee" (pronounced like shneh) in time for Christmas!

Buddy LOVES to run in the snow!!!

 I also like to play in the snow.  It brings me back to my childhood in PA.

Typical Swiss scene

fresh air

woke up to this amazing view at sunrise this morning!

something about the view to the mountains that helps me keep things in perspective... not to get too wrapped up in the little things.
