The Alps - 6.9.12

This morning we rented a car and headed for the alps.  We drove by a city of Interlaken, which is in one of the most beautiful valleys I have ever seen, with glaciers, two alpine lakes, and mountains surrounding it.  We were on our way to a spot just past Interlaken called Reichenbach Falls.  Our Sherlock Holmes tour didn't end when we left England--this is the location of his "death".  There was even a note to Dr. John Watson at the top.  Arthur Conan Doyle came here on vacation and decided to kill his character by pushing him off the cliffs to the left of the falls.  We tried the same thing, but it's a lot harder with the hand rails.

We drove through Bern and saw the temple in Zolikofen, ate at Aldi, and now we're heading back to our hotel in Geneva.  It's been a wonderful day, except for the traffic on the way home.
