Being a tourist can be tricky! You are aware that others know that you are not one of them. However, when you are with a native-born son of Switzerland, you perceive this world through his eyes. You can begin to understand the feelings of pride that envelope a people at home with nature's beauty and power. The mountains speak volumes of strength based in solid rock, a gift of the glaciers! We need do nothing to become a beneficiary of the gift! We simply have to experience its majesty with awe!
We wait until tomorrow to ride the gornergrat bahn which will take us around 29 mountains that are more than 4000 meters high! Should the day be enveloped in sun, the experience will be that much greater!
THE MATTERHORN
Stretching into the clouds,
Beyond her neighbors,
We waited for the cover to wilt,
And then she appeared in her glory!
The Matterhorn spikes like the conqueror
Making her dominance cast a spell,
As her neighbors kneel in worship,
Feeling proud just to serve!
