Beautiful Place

We were leaving Weisbaden the next morning, and I realized that the casino was in the park, where I was sitting the night before. It was dark, so I had not seen the casino. I wish I had. We toured the Black Forest region of Germany. It was very pretty. But, the highlight of the day was seeing Rheinfall. It was on the border between Germany and Switzerland, and it was a beautiful waterfall on the Rhine River. It gets my vote as the most beautiful spot on Earth that I've seen. And, I have seen a lot of beautiful things. We left there and went by the outskirts of Zurich, heading toward Lucerne. We saw the Alps. And, there was a shock. Just a few days before, we were in 130 degree Israel, and now we were in 50 degree Switzerland. I was glad I had a light jacket. We checked into a nice hotel in Lucerne that night and found the area around the hotel was filled with shops. There was even a movie theatre in the next block. We had gotten to an area that was upscale. And, the girls loved the fact that we were so close to nice shops. Another great stop along our trip. A lot of good memories of a very good day. We needed that.
