Jungfrau



Elise and I are in Wengen, as she posted. This morning we woke up and spent $110 each to go to the highest altitude train station in Europe: the Jungfraujoch, which translates so romantically to "Virgin's yoke". It was icy cold up there, at 35 degrees fahrenheit. But, it was magnificent! They have ice sculptures, a movie (the "Top-o-rama"), and a million Japanese tourists! They traveled in packs, so we were able to always choose to go where they weren't.

Most of all it had magnificent views.

I cannot believe it! I have been to the Jungfrau, and it is breathtaking, as you say! Of course, I'm sure has even more now, since I was there about 34 years ago.

I am so enjoying following you around! Still can't believe you have the time to do all of this and travel, too, but it's wonderful.
