The weather goddess must have known it was Dave's birthday, so sent you perfect weather. Before my last 4-year journey around Europe, I endlessly watched promotional videos on the Glacier Express--and you took it! When we meet, I want to see all 400 photos--these are grand! And how great that you got to meet Nina and Markus [blogger=73241]. Hopefully, these memories will keep you cool in the heat of your new Florida home.
