Cast of characters:
Riding up in the cable car or "gondola" made my stomach lurch. I'm really not a huge fan of heights. Or speed. Or snow. Ah well, Swiss Alps, here we come.
At the top of this particular mountain is a daycare/childcare where you can leave your smallest members for 11 Franks an hour (about $8 USD). Lavella was cool with this arrangement.
Then we rented two sleds. Greg took Andrew on one, and Elijah and I got on the other.
Some of the slopes were pretty steep, and the only breaks for the sled are the boots of the person sitting on it.
At night, whenever I closed my eyes to sleep, all that I could see was the edge of the trail, and imagined Elijah and myself hurtling off of it.
The view was fantastic though.
There were some snowmen built,
we watched parachuters land,
and had a pretty great time. There was one unfortunate incident in which Elijah and I took a wrong turn and ended up having to sled down the entire mountain, but even from the distance of a few days don't really want to talk about it. It took three hours out of my day, about 3 years off my life, and I'd rather delete it from my memory.
Will we go back? Now that I've got some sleep, I can say with certainty, "probably".
