Memory Day: Snapshots

This picture was taken two years ago today, on July 26, 2015.

Following an 8-hour train ride out of Munich, we arrived in the tourist town of Grindelwald, where every sign had too many letters on it and every sidewalk had too many Asians on it. We were impressed by the vertical scale of the Alps just minutes away from the single main road in any direction, a far cry from the Blue Ridge mountains that grow imperceptibly steeper over several miles until you suddenly realize you're already at the top and driving down the other side.

We checked into the Hotel Tschuggen, which kept cute rabbits in the back yard, and ate dinner at the Di Salvi Ristorante, whose rotisserie chickens could be smelled from one end of the town to the other.
