The Rameumptom

We climbed another tower! The last one I was pretty scared on. There were several unstable factors going on though. It was on the edge of a mountain, it was pretty open (to see all the way down), and it was a stormy day with a lot of wind. This time conditions were a lot better. We went to a tower in the woods high above the tree line because it was such a clear day. It was a beautiful hour drive through the Swiss country to the forest. All the way up the tower were history facts from around the world. America's founding in1492 and our independence day were included in these little facts. It was still scary climbing up this tower but it felt a lot more sturdy. It was all wood and had really big bolts.
At the top was a beautiful 360* view of Switzerland. We were able to see all levels of mountains including the alps this time. It was so great and very hard to catch on camera. There was a pole at the top that showed all the different countries and how far they were in which direction. It was fun to look all around as far as you can. We brought binoculars and had a great time. It was rather busy too up there. I started getting a little nervous with so many people. The tower began swaying a lot at the top. It was good Rameumptom though.

Sunday we also went to one of the oldest wooden churches in Switzerland. Heinz said that a lot of people like to get married here, but there is a long waiting list for it. It was rather small and quaint. The chapel was very humble and cute actually. It was on a beautiful hill side with grass all around it. There were actually flowers in there from a past wedding of some sort. There was a random thing though, the net that caught the last wolf is Switzerland was hung up in the church. Heinz said it's not anything to be proud of, but back when this was made it was something they prized. I keep telling Brett that there should be animals here. It's a forest, forest animals should be here. I am slowly learning why they all left, there's too many people. But it was a beautiful chapel to visit. Brett has also decided that he wants to have an apple tree. I found a really pretty one and decided, yes I'll have an apple tree as well.
