Rigi


Yesterday, we went to Mount Rigi . My Grandparents came along. we took a ariel cable car, then we switched to a cog-wheel railway. At the place where we switched, there was a huge chessboard with chess pieces the same size. I had some fun with it. At the top we ate lunch, then we went to the top of Mt. Rigi. The view at the top; was great! We saw lots of mountains including Stanserhorn, which we went a week ago, and Mt. Pilatus, which we also saw from Stanserhorn. I noticed these interesting telescopes which had a ball under it telling the different sights. If you moved the sight you wanted to look at into a selector and looked through the telescope you saw the sight. The Rigi trip was great!!

Hi William~
Sorry I haven't posted a comment in a while, but I was having trouble with my account. I think it's better now. We have still enjoyed reading about your travels, even though I couldn't comment for a while. I hope you keep your blog going when you're back in the states too. I like learning more about you and your adventures.
Are your grandparents still with you or is their vacation done? I know Sarah is eager to join you. She's looking forward to the chocolate you promised too. We had a great time with her at Great Wolf Lodge for G. & G. S's anniversary celebration. Wish you could have been there.
Give your mom and dad hugs for us.
Love,
Aunt Amy

Hi William, hope you're having a fun time in Switzerland. Great blog. I saw that you like reading World War two novels. Have you ever read A Boy at War by Harry Mazer? I read it when I was your age and I loved it. I think you'd like it a lot if you havent read it yet. Hope you have a safe and wonderful trip. -Greg
