The image my american mind conjured was something along the lines of a light apple-y carrot cake, but I just knew that wasn't what we were about to get. What did we get? Imagine a sugar donut. Now put a cored apple in the middle. This is "apple cake." Awesome.
I saw the history of building the train up the Jungfrau on a tourist video, on the train. It goes like this, "One man had a dream. 300 workers and decade later, they tunneled through the Eiger, created viewing points out the face, and continued on up to 'the top of Europe' where they hollowed out the glacier and built a restaurant, research station, and a house." Awesome.
Why would they do this? One drunk guy in a bar convinced 300 of his drunk friends to chissle away inside one of the most beautiful mountains in the world for over ten years? How much Brandy would that take?
And... I'm not even going to start on the trams and cable cars... the swiss will never cease to amaze me. Situated in the heart of Europe, they stayed out of the wars didn't they? Awesome.

I am happy to hear you guys made it back happy and safe. Can't wait to hear about the cable cars and Delta!
Congrats. Everyone was expecting something like this from the likes of you?? It was just a couple of months ago that Bink was speculating on some hunch that you might be scheming a wedding getaway. Anyways, the Andes look great and I hope to get up the Trango some day soon- perhaps a road trip is in order. I will be renting the Sanction within the next week; it's been far too long. Thanks for the update.
We've been going to the gym with the little monsters and hope to get outside to explore Smith when the weather warms up. Bend is treating us well and I hope you guys can make it out sometime.
Rock on,
Mike
OH MY GOD!
Whaaaaa?!
Congratulations! When do I get to celebrate with you and yours?
Going to Cali tomorrow, but will be back by the end of the week.
Are you back yet?
That is absolutely awesome news. What an awesome honeymoon. Incredible pictures. Great website too. I'm sure you will have a long and happy marriage buddy! You have a lovely lady there.
I had coffee at Peet's with Kurt and Bob Simon a couple of weeks ago. Kurt is recovering from a broken ankle. It would be great to go for a ride again. What do you think about a Rockies tour this summer if you get that new tandem?
Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium?
Help, please. All recommend this program to effectively advertise on the Internet, this is the best program!
