It’s Sunday so it must be time for our weekly trip to an alpine wonderland. To beautiful Switzerland. One of the most stunning countries on our planet.
I have been looking at photos of The Alps in old climbing books since I was a teenager. My home town’s old library didn’t have many books in BUT it did have three about scaling mountain peaks. Every Saturday morning on my trip to the one record shop I would stop off and look at those books. Dreaming of one day standing by those great peaks . The Eiger, The Matterhorn. The Monch.
So how excited was I when I flew into Switzerland for the very first time. Wow those mountains were as fantastic as I had dreamt of. But there was something else. Look at those lakes. Look at the water. I had no idea just how many stunning lakes this place had.
Here’s a fact for you. Little Switzerland has over 1500 lakes and has 6% of Europe’s freshwater stock….
Let’s hear it for those lakes.
Thank you Switzerland.
Was reading an article today about the country with happiest people and I think Switzerland was in the Top 3. I can see why!

I began to feel the appreciation and gratitude and energy from and coming from this area only about 10 years ago. I have been used to it all my life and was rather drawn to the ocean (still love the ocean a lot and would not mind living close to it anyway). It was like discovering a paradise. And the awareness of the gift that can live here is very clear.
