We left by bus from Basel this morning. Basel is on the corner of Germany, Switzerland, and France. I had one foot in front of the other and my hand was touching the window of the bus. Does that mean I had a body part in each country?
We drove through mountain tunnels, industrial areas, government subsidized farms, rolling landscapes, and orchards and 1-1/2 hours later were in Lucerne.
Some things we learned from our bus and walking tour guides today--
--Every resident of Switzerland must have a fall-out shelter.
--Fruit does not get exported. It goes into making schnapps.
--7 presidents in Switzerland from different areas and they all must agree
--Lucerne is the Heart of the alps
--Swiss people are very reserved and think Americans are loud and overly friendly! We tried to behave ourselves!We see snow capped alps from our beautiful 5 star hotel! It is amazing!
