Today we visited Mt. Pilatus. We took the popular “golden roundtrip” tour with a ferry, then a cogwheel train up the mountain, then a gondola down the other side. Pilatus is also the first Swiss destination we ever visited, and now it’s one of the last, so it was our own golden roundtrip. Poetic, isn’t it? 🙂
The weather was great. It’s Memoiral Day in the U.S. today, but it’s a working day in Switzerland, so the mountain wasn’t crowded. Today was my first day off that I would have been working at Google (if I were still working for Google). For the next two months the calendar has nothing but Saturdays.
Pilatus has an awesome ropes course. Elisa and I both did it: tight ropes, zip lines, ladders, and jumping from great heights. Eden was a trooper. We just took turns. I’m always surprised at how spectacular the scenery is in Switzerland.

You’re right, we need to tell our news. I’ve been meaning to write a blog on that for more than a week. Maybe later today….

Okay, you two need to seriously tell us all what’s going on! When is the exact moving date? Do you have a job lined up in the states? Where in the states will you be moving??
And, in response to your comment on my blog, Chad, I didn’t have a clue about Wilson Rawls living here, either, until like a year ago. Who knew?
