Top of Europe!

Today we made the 4 hour trek up towards Jungfraujoch...The top of Europe. Switz's largest range is capped by a peak standing a paltry 4000m, about 12,000 feet...shy of many of Colorado's peaks. But, the view was amazing and the climb up to the top made us feel like we accomplished a great feat today. Our legs were toasted. Our only reprieve at the top of the climb was a sharing a great $15 bratwurst...expensive but well worth the money. if you can believe it, it was the first brat we've had while in europe, lived up to the hype.
Last night, we watched game one of Euro2008, a huge soccer tourney based in Switz. Last night, the swiss lost 1-0 to czech, pretty awful. Lets just say the town was a bit depressed after the game, but perhaps drunk soccer fans are more fun to watch when they've lost. Talk about taking their sorrows out on a bottle. The game was played on a huge 15 ft t.v. in the town center. we just chilled out there for the night and kicked back a few. Tonight, we'll watch Germany v. Poland, another game which I'm sure will get Interlaken's predominantly deutsche crowd up in arms.
Looking forward to our plush accomodations in Paris...hope all is well.
