Ok, I had too many more photos to post to do it all in the last one. I had to break it up!

2 Italian kids
Too very nice Italian kids we gave a ride down the mountain to.

Italian chalet
Gorgeous villa along the lake in Italy. This was typical Italian scenery, so beautiful but just too many people in the area.

Switzerland 1
So we had to go to Switzerland, where there are still more sheep than people. Small country churches, quiet walking paths, it’s very relaxing. It is strange how Switzerland is not part of the EU, though, and won’t use the Euro.

We’ve got to go back to Switzerland in the summer. This is a little country dairy where during the summer they tend the goats and make cheese right here. It’s so cool, you hike a few miles down a mountain trail and come to: a dairy! Unfortunately we were late, they’d already taken the goats to the valleys and shut the dairys for winter.

Castle in France
Then we went into France. Well, this part of the world is France right now, I think it’s changed hands about 20 times between France and Germany (after each World War, and who knows how many times before?). The area is called Alsatia, and it was wonderful. This castle was built in the 1100’s and has been restored twice, once in the 1800’s and once in the 1960’s. It was the most interesting and probably best restored castle/fort we saw.

More photos from the castle.

The dining room inside the castle.

Beautiful cathederal being restored in the town of Toul.

WWI
We visited some WWI battle sites. In the mist and cold I could hardly imagine what it must have been like for the soldiers here.

A cool Luxemburgish castle. I was quite excited to visit such a small, unusual country but I couldn’t find a Luxemburg T-shirt anywhere. I’d still really like one if anyone is visiting there soon…

Armor
This was one of the best suits of armor we saw, it was inside the castle in Luxemburg.

Belgian WWII mounument
This is a monument to American soldiers for their efforts in liberating Belgium during WWII. After visiting countries like Luxemburg and Belgium I understand a little better why all of Europe is so interested in American politics. For us to remain a powerful nation is directly beneficial to them.
