A Good Place To Be

I have visited many wonderful places in the last six weeks. Clear stand-outs: Barcelona, Bilbao, Aix-en-Provence, Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Leipzig, Prague, Florence, Perugia, Bologna, and Interlaken. Of these, only two were completely overwhelming. Of those two, one famously allows activites illegal elsewhere, and the other is Interlaken.

Pictures have never really done it for me. I've seen the pictures of things I saw yesterday before, but they never impressed me or at all prepared me for the view walking from the balcony of the Hotel Interlaken, the view from the Valley floor walking north from Lauterbrunen, or the view from Mürren, one thousand meters above the valley floor and a mile below the highest neighboring peak.

I wish I could describe it for those that haven't seen it. Time runs short in internet cafes, so I won't even try. Maybe when I get back home and look through the pictures. Or when I'm back there with a laptop as soon as possible, looking off a balcony at it.

I miss it already.
