Yesterday, Case and I made the train journey from Geneva to Grindelwald! That included 3 changes, one of which I screwed up and had us get off a stop early, but all in all it was fairly painless. As Casey so elegantly put it, "Travel days are what can make or break a relationship." So far we haven't left each other on a platform to find their own way onward (yet). The key things to keep us happy on these days are snacks, water in some form, a little space from each other when things get a touch heated, and clear directions from people who speak decent English and know where the hell we're supposed to go.
Our Air BnB in Grindelwald is great; the view is amazing and we have everything we need in it, so we've decided to stay here for over a week. It's in such a great area for hiking and a few adventurous activities, two of which we did today at Grindelwald First- the cliff walk and the First Flyer (a zip line down a portion of the mountain). We also hiked to Bachalpsee Lake, which was more of a hike than we anticipated, but then again so is the walk to our studio apartment!

| Case wasn't kidding when he said I avoid grates on sidewalks. I don't mess with them in any form. So, this was a fear-conquering exercise for me, most of which entailed no looking down. |

| This ain't no thang |

| Pretending not to enjoy watching me be absolutely mortified |

| Again, Casey's focus skills are in shining form. I caught a little frog for those of you who can't see the fine detail of his little face. |

| Farewell little friend. |

| A fish jumped right before this picture (see the ripples) and I'm pretty positive it thoroughly enjoyed a serving of Cuisses de Grenouilles |
