Let me say that, for me, flying west is easier than flying east. When we got to Germany just over a month ago, we felt pretty lousy. Coming back has been a little bit easier. The jetlag has bee tolerable.
So, how was the trip? Very good. I’d go back in a hearbeat (as long as someone else paid, I’m out of cash for the moment).
Switzerland was idyllic. It has breathtaking views unlike anything I’ve seen before. Mix in some amazing chocolate, delicious wine and scrumptous cheeze and you’ve got one heck of a country.
Belgium had something that no country I’ve ever visited has. Really good beer was completely ubiquitous. Every place I went for a meal, coffee, anything really; they all had really good beer.
In Germany we did a lot of driving and one thing that stands out (aside from getting to go really fast) is the complete lack of billboards. That’s right, billboards are illegal in Germany. Now I’m a guy who tends to like the government to stay out of my business, but this is one law I’d support in a heartbeat.
More about my trip soon, but I thought I’d at least stick my head above ground to say hi. Use the comments to fire off any questions if you have them. Stay tuned, much more from here.

We’re so grateful that you and Anna are back safe, sound, and intact. The only time I was in Switzerland (Schweiss) was in 1965 and I was struck by the preponderence of time keeping devices—both watches and cuckoo clocks. Was this still the case?

I wasn’t as struck as you, but that’s not to say they’re not there. Where in Switzerland did you go?

I was especially struck when the the hour was …. struck. I’m not sure of the towns/cities—we’ll have to consult the Elder Warren.
