Such Great Heights

The Alps are incredible. I will begin by getting that out there.
Switzerland, which I almost did not even visit, has possibly become one of my favorite locations; a location I sincerely hope to revisit again in the future. While I have said that about numerous locations, I would definitely rate Switzerland in the top 3 so far. I definitely appreciate the mountains more than the islands, and the history of Germany makes it real hard to pick between the two. The edge may slip out of Swiss hands based on the fact that everything in the country costs about twice as much as what you would hope or expect.

Internet usage, kebabs, train tickets, water, you name it, and it is overpriced! So I am eating a bit less, and enjoying the views a bit more. Definitely an acceptable balance. I also have graciously accepted some Christmas presents from my parents while here which I will post about later, once I have actually let them know what their money has gone towards as well. I think photos may do it more justice, but they are without a doubt the best Christmas presents I may have ever received!
