I ran down an Alp today and flew off the edge....

No joke but more on that later.

The Swiss Alps are AMAZING! It is so beautiful here and I have never seen such steep mountains in my life. We had to take a gondola to get to the village that we are staying in, how cool is that?

We decided to go on a little hike (6 hours the locals said). I bet you can guess how that turned out. Here they estimate everything in time. But hey! Time is relative don`t you know. And I swear that they always underestimate. The hike was actually 11 miles up an Alp and back down which we learned everywhere. The view was amazing but it was steep. There were these oldies blasting past us with their boots and dorky looking walking poles. I wanted some of those poles as I was slipping and sliding in my sub-standard tennis shoes. PS It took us 8 hours.

The next day was chill as well. We hiked up to the next village (50 mins legit uphill) and took a gondola to the top of a peak. Apparently they shot the 1968 James Bond movie up there and they are very proud of that. How anybody skies and boards up there I have no idea. I would die for sure, Bryan wants to try it though.

It is so nice here that we stayed an extra couple of days. Oops. Oh darn, I have to wake up the the beautiful mountains each morning. The people here are so friendly and star watching at night is great. The sky is the same no matter where you are. We have met a lot of travelers which has been fun. Some of them even talked us into... Paragliding off an Alp!

It was awesome. We were each hooked into this guy. Then we ran down the mountain and boom! We were in the air, going off a cliff and soaring between the mountains. IT WAS SO COOL (even though now I cannot afford to eat for a week now). Hiking the Alps was good, flying over them was so much better though!
