    Speaking of Niesen…..My wife just informed me “Niesen” means “to sneeze” in German.

    She laughed when I told her about the mountain the other day….she was confused as to what I was talking about at first. 🙂

    Hi Sangsoam-

    You asked about the Swiss Tulip Festival.

    <<“If we have enough time in the afternoon we would like to see the Swiss Tulip Festival. Is the festival worth seeing?”>>

    A fiend of mine in Zürich just sent me this note:

    <<“Yesterday, we went to Morges on Lake Geneva, the tulips are lovely in the city park, a real attraction for visitors and – inshallah – we plan another visit next year. What an effort the city of Morges put in, thousands of bulbs had to be planted! A feast for the eyes.”>>

    Marvelous. We will have photos of Swiss tulips to send back home. When I said I would visit Swiss tulip festival, my friends laughed and said no one would go to Switzerland for tulips.

    Today is a good sunny day. We are taking maggie’s advice: Riding an ER train from Thun to Visp. Now we are on board of a Gotthard line heading to Zermatt and will do Gonergart soon.
