A hike in the Alps

[momcat]

I absolutely love the mountains! A few years back I spent 6 glorious days visiting friends in the Colorado Rockies. Once you stand on top of a 14,000 foot mountain nothing else comes close.

Last May, my son spent 14 days in Vienna, Budapest, Prague and Venice with the International Scholar Laureate Program. He said they went back to Vienna from Venice through the Alps. He says the scenery was awesome and they didn't know where to look first. And yes, Mike said there were a lot of cows complete with their bells.

Looks a wonderful day for it, Barbara. We had torrential rain on Saturday, you could hardly see 6 feet in front of you.

The cows are adorable! I am slightly disappointed that they are not those slightly purple Alpine cows though.

He he! The Milka ad cows you mean??

[Killearn Kitties]

That kind of thing!

Those pictures are fantastic!! I think the scenery looks more beautiful than I have imagined. Thanks for sharing!!

Is it true Alpine cows have shorter legs on the uphill side?

I am, of course, insanely jealous....I'll trade you...

Great pictures Barbara. I admire your stamina. Although the menu
for an overnight stay sounded nice.

Barbara,

I have to tell you that I thought to myself, "What is Barbara doing hiking through the ABS"?

I thought about your cats and abdominal muscles before I thought of mountains?

I need to remember my glasses.

How beautiful, and I love the cows, too!
