Zermatt and Bern Switzerland

Skiing and Sightseeing - February 2009

Beautiful blue skies, majestic mountains, good friends - a great mixture for a fabulous trip skiing at the base of the Matterhorn in Zermatt Switzerland. The following day the weather turned bad so we went to Bern (Bear) Switzerland and wondered around town, went to the cathedral, and visited the Einstein Museum. Two wonderful days. Thanks to my friends Chris and Anamarie Broennimann.

Notice the figures in the stained glass, they are all skeletons.
