Switzerland — Here is my slideshow from Switzerland with a lot of mountain shots taken from a helicopter and also a hot air balloon. Quite a gorgeous country from top to bottom. The Swiss are a little stiff, but not unpleasant — at least the ones I was with.
I’ll try to post new and interesting slideshows weekly.

But, in general, if you sat down next to a Swiss citizen and shared a beer [or coffee] or two, you’d probably have a decent conversation about the guilt of the grandfathers and fathers of present-day politicians. And, then, they’d ask if you always spent your political life in the past?

And they might even add, “So, how are the American Indians doing these days?” 😉
