Today I headed off to zermatt and met a man and woman about my parents age that were from Utah. Almost everyone I meet that are from america are from california. This was kind of neat because my family is travelling to Utah today. I told them about that and where my family is going and they said that Capitol Reef (where my family is going to camp at) is their favorite place to go camping in Utah. They also said that they had traveled to Oregon and that they love Lincoln City. I thought this was funny because to us in Oregon that is just one of many gorgeous beaches. This whole thing made me happy to think what a small world it is. So onto the trip. I went from Montreaux to Visp and then from Visp to Zermatt. It was a gorgeous day and very hot but i had backed some warmer clothes because Zermatt can get cold. I stopped in Visp for an expresso which was really good and then rode the mountain train up to Zermatt. It was such a beautiful ride and there were many waterfalls and a beautiful scenic view. My plan was to arrive in Zermatt and then ride the lift to the ice cave and then come back to see the festival. Well the lift was closed and the festival didnt start till later in the night so both those were out, but I think hiking was just as enjoyable. I loved hiking along the trail watching the Matterhorn get closer and closer. It was gorgeous out and there were many beautiful houses. I loved being able to fill up my waterbottle with freezing cold alpine water. It was fun to see that even the sheep have bells. I cant do it justice with describing it, but it was just a beautiful day up in the alps.
