26 JAN 2013 - The day after Christmas, we went on a vacation with the Andersons to Switzerland. We intended to go see the Lauterbrunnen valley, but fog and rain at the lower elevations made it such that there wasn't much to see. We decided to drive to the house we had rented instead, but the deep snow wouldn't allow our mini-van to make it up the steep hill. Fortunately, the Andersons had a 4x4 that made it up to the house just fine. They were good enough to ferry us and our stuff up to the house from the valley. Without them, we wouldn't have made it! We later learned that it snowed over two feet that day at the home we had rented. In lieu of that, we felt pretty fortunate to have made it up there at all! The next day, after the roads were cleared, we managed to drive the mini-van up to the house with no problems.
Heiligkreuz, Switzerland
The view we had out of the window the day after the big snowfall was picture perfect. Two feet of snow really added a lot to the ambiance of this charming little Swiss town.
The inside of the house was a bit interesting. The lady who rented it to us I think was Buddhist and she liked to hold Buddhist retreats at her large home here. So it was a bit of an odd mix inside; Swiss construction meets major Asian religion. The house was great and Eve like the sun painting on the wall so much she was convinced she needed one just like it in her own room.
