We have finally made it to Switzerland, and we are finally getting past our jetlag to enjoy it fully. The mountains here are beyond words and simple emotions. They are just like a picture from a book, a line from a really good poem, or something you haven't even been able to create in your mind yet. I already feel a poem coming from deep inside the mountains.
Today we had a wonderful tour around Gryon. I found most interesting was the long tradition Switzerland has with providing an escape from society and place for freedom. It was interesting hearing about the use that travelers and traders made of the high mountain trails to avoid paying the taxes of the main road. It is because of this and the location of Switerland that I think has made it able to use tourism as its major income. Since there are no natural resources in Switzerland besides snow and water( and chocolate) visitors have become an important part of what Switerland is.
