in the alps

---

im in the alps at a mountain hostel..only the glaciers are above this altitude....its amazing. the hostel is awesome, no shoes inside..etc..with a hot tub right outside..best view in the world..im feeling pretty spoiled. learned how to play gin rummy last night..life is good. going hiking again today...trying to reach the glaciers...two hour hike up- we,ll see if i make it. leaving tomorrow for the black forest in germany, the forest inspired all the grim brother stories, including hansel and greddle. going to a town with the worlds largest cookoo clock and a waterfall right next door, then to frankfurt to fly home... see you all soon
