Schweiz


Talk about a change of scenery... I've been in Switzerland for the last 10 days. After over a year in Benin, it's been blissful to indulge in chocolate, cheese, deep powder, and family antics.

Wengen is a mountain village, accessible only by train, that lies bellow the north face of the Eiger.

this fella lives at Manlichen - a mountain chamoix



avalanche barriers (fresh powder skiing barriers)



Poppa and my half-brother JB sled some gnar



JB ready for action



happy me with sister and the Eiger



did little Lena empty the wine glass?



my sister is pretty.
