Mein Himmel

Without a doubt, my favorite stop on our tour of Europe was Lucerne, Switzerland (though Innsbruck was a close second). It was clean, surrounded by tall, craggy mountains, lush green, set on a clear, beautiful lake, and big enough to have everything you need, without being too bustling.

Maybe these photos will help show why Lucerne is my own version of heaven (himmel).

That's a small taste of one of my new favorite cities. Have a great weekend!
