To the top of Schilthorn

The next day I decided to take the cable car up to Schilthorn where there was a revolving restaurant. It took 3 cable car switches and putting up with stinky skiers, but I made it! The views were amazing and I could see the JungFrau, Monch, and Eiger mountains where I had been a few days earlier.

I headed back down the mountian, stopping at each stop along the way. I love it up here--any good job openings? It is at a slow pace and very peaceful!

A little after dinner as other guests were checking in, I ran into a French girl who was extremely helpful and very pleasant. She told me places to see in France and places to avoid. The rest of her party arrived and we all went out to the local restaurant--they had dinner, I had dessert! I tried a small bit of Pork Weinersnitzle and Raclette--local Swiss favorites! We all talked and laughed for a few hours and I got to know a little about each of them. Three were from Denmark, two from Brazil, one from Germany and one from France all up for a ski weekend.
