Our friends, Heidi and Silvia, drove us to Vaduz, Liechtenstein and Meienfeld, Switzerland for some sightseeing and lunch!
Watch out!  There's a car coming!      
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
The contrast between the white mountains and the blue sky was stunning. 
We visited Meienfeld, Switzerland, the setting for the story, "Heidi".  The area is known as Heidiland.
This castle overlooking the city of Vaduz is where the Prince of Liechtenstein and his family live.
Cruising the outdoor mall in sunny VaduzSoakin' in some rays!
Liechtenstein is nestled in-between beautiful snow-covered mountains, and it is usually sunny there.

Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire

I hadn't ever eaten chestnuts roasted on an open fire before, but they are pretty good, and especially on a cold night at the train station!

Frozen Clothes

I hung my shirts out to dry, and the next morning when Norwin went out to get them, they were stiff.

Christmas Cookies

Tammy Anderson sent the recipe and ingredients to make Christmas Cookies, and boy are they delicious!  They have peppermint candy canes, craisins, chocolate chips, oatmeal, and macadamia nuts in them. They are soooooooooooooo yummy!
