Today brought a little bit of home to our final moments in Switzerland. After a cable car ride down the side of the mountain, we wandered the streets of Zermatt before boarding a train back to Zurich. The panoramic views that bid us adieu were as breathtaking as they were when I first saw them. Beautiful View of Zermatt, Switzerland Kim and the Band in Zermatt, Switzerland We couldn’t leave without another photo op, though, so it was serendipitous that as we wandered we happe

Zermatt, Switzerland and Childhood Memories While I waited for Michael I had a silent chat with GOD, pleading that surely He didn’t intend for me to leave this earth due to heart failure in the Swiss Alps! Michael returned and asked me a question so perfect even I couldn’t have predicted it; he advised that the only other way to complete our trek was via snowmobile. Asking if I’d be alright, he was shocked when I jumped for joy and asked if I could drive!  Look out Zermatt! M

Just when I thought I had succumbed to my “fear of heights” my fear returned at 7500 feet in Zermatt, Switzerland. A Little Piece of Heaven I should have known, when I got the notice two days before I left to pack snow boots, that I was in for some rough terrain. Today, as I faced my 3rd mountain at 7,500 feet, in Zermatt, Switzerland, my understanding of perspective was truly challenged. Once at the top, I saw that everyone was skiing back down the mountain. My heart fell no

View of the Matterhorn from Zermatt Day 4 of the Ovation Amazing Trophy Race to the top of the mountain more challenges begin!  Zermatt Switzerland, Team Work, Fear of Heights and the Matterhorn. This day offered more “unique” and difficult challenges than the past three days. The funny thing about challenges, is that if you choose to, you can learn from them. I know that I certainly did. We set out for the train station bright and early, thinking we had ample time for the wa

Jungfrau And we are off in our EuropCar Day 3 of the Ovation Amazing Trophy Race started in a brand new car compliments of Europcar. No, we didn’t bring it home, but we had so much fun racing through the small towns on our way to Interlaken, Switzerland!  The detail that the planners put into this day was nothing short of phenomenal; each car came loaded with a CD full of music that

**Part 2-Of a series of Blogs of my trip to participate in the Ovations Amazing Trophy Race.  In case you missed it…Read Part 1 before continuing. Our second day in Lucerne, Switzerland was full of what most students dread: tests!  Before the day was over, each of my senses had been challenged. My legs burned after stair climbing, I learned that I don’t really dislike all chocolates, gazed in awe of the only Gothic church in all of Lucerne, found a diamond and indulged in mel
