Switzerland / France Day 3

These post are getting longer and longer with more pictures as the scenery was just breathtaking.
This picture of Liz was actually taken in Zurich and I just found it and it's worthy of including as she looks so darn cute!  Nice pic Liz.
Ok...on day three we head to the Top of Europe....Jungfrau.
 We took trains a lot this trip which was kinda scary at first since our group has never had a full day of successfully getting on the right train going to the right destination.  But I have to say, once we got it down it was very nice.  Therefore, we spent some time hanging out at train stations.
 As I mentioned earlier, the views and scenery were spectacular.  Photos really can't capture the true beauty and magnitude of the Alps.



 We found a corner that we all took the chance for our "photo op".



 One very happy group of friends! It looks like we are freezing but it really wasn't that cold.
On our way down the mountain we jumped off in Wengen Switzerland.  It's the location of the World Cup Super Combined, Downhill and Slalom skiing January 18-20, 2013. Sweet village.

 There was a small square where people were sitting around and absorbing the sun, kids playing and us drinking wine!

 Don't they look relaxed?
 Not sure if Wayne wanted to sit on a bench or get as far away from us....just kidding.
 Happy campers on our way back to the hotel.
 More beautiful landscapes.

 One of the most famous water falls was next to our hotel, the Staubbach Falls.
 Jerry and Kathy had the party room in this hotel.  Once we returned from our day's outing, we stopped at the near by CoOp and purchased snacks of every variety as well as wine and Bailey's.  We all had a great evening playing train, drinking and eating.
