The Swiss Alps

Karen and I are spending the next three or four days in the Swiss Alps. This morning, we woke up to a snowstorm. Our hostel has a hot tub, and there is an indoor swimming pool in the neighboring town, so thankfully there are things to do on days like this one. :) Eventually, we want to go to the top of Jungfrau, which is the highest spot in the area (I believe). The only downside is that it costs like 120 dollars. Oh, and get this: I did not bring a coat, gloves, or a hat, so at some point I will have to trek down to Lauterbrunnen to buy some stuff to the tune of a few hundred dollars. Jeez.

Our hostel is great. There are a lot of people our age here, chilling, reading books, playing the guitar, and exchanging travel tips/stories. The view from our bedroom is like something from a fairytale. We are surrounded by HUGE, snow-covered peaks, and we are pretty much situated on one ourselves.

More later, after we go on some hikes and see the area.
