This is where I would like to be. It is the place I imagine I could lose the tension in my shoulders and the furrow in my brow. It is where my sense of awe and wonder were awakened. When we left I knew that I would return, if only through these pictures, because I love to wake up my sense of awe and wonder. I knew these images would trigger a healthy heart rate, relaxed breathing, and calm my mind.
All I have to do is focus on the memories.
Remember the details.
Smile.
The tensions of today, the things I did and did not do, the worries about what is wrong, what can go wrong, what went wrong... I need to put all of it aside and remember Switzerland.
I miss all things Swiss... all the things we saw and did.
Even the things we did not do... I could ride from lake to lake.
I would happily take the drive again, from Triberg to Brienz. Through those tunnels, and round and round the mountains.
I need a Swiss nap.
I would like to walk in a garden, pick peas, pull weeds...
Shhhh... I think I might actually be meditating.
Gratitude.
Peace of mind.
Hope.
Laughter.
And farm animals... I am feeling better already.
I can almost hear the lake lapping against the stone wall.
Excuse me while I put my feet up and enjoy this moment, again.

Natalie - just for the record, I adore you!
AH, I'm right with you......
Its quite a miraculous thing to be looking back on, eh?
I meant to ask you...what were your feelings on the volume of the cowbells? I was quite disturbed to hear how loud they were, and wondered if the poor individuals suffered from it. Imagine, never having a moment of peace again without those blasted bells clanging in your ears and driving you mad!
Gorgeous photos! They made me want to be there too!
Switzerland looks beautiful! I really hope to visit there sometime. It looks as relaxing and peaceful as Austria.
Those photos are beautiful. I loved Switzerland when I wnet there. It is so peaceful and the people so friendly.

Maybe someday I wll travel. But in the meantime I will enjoy your lovely adventure retrospectives.
Hussssssha! The serenity is whispering in my ears. The Swiss route enhances the purpose of this journey. Switzerland is enriched with natural beauty, I would like to explore someday. Thanks for this conspicuous display.
GLORIOUS! I can very easily imagine living in such splendor too...*sigh*... Hope to see Switzerland one day...ah, yes! Such fun to have an extra look from your European adventures, Natalie....Happy weekend to you all :o) ((HUGS))
The village looks a little "Stepford-ish" to me... too perfect to be lived in. But the surrounding scenery is stunning! I can almost smell the fresh air.
It's a beautiful place, I'm glad you could spend time there with your brood & hubby.
