A Well Kept Man

We are running around Paris today trying to find the best tasting crepes (maybe...Alli probably has more exciting ideas).

As I have nothing interesting to write about, please check out these pictures from my trip to the Jungfrau Mountains.

Hopefully this link works...if not, let me know and I will post the pictures on the blog upon my return.

Oh yeah, funny story (not funny haha, but funny in the sense that it proves that I couldn't find my way out of a paper bag). I led our guests onto the wrong train the other morning on the way up to Wengen. Long story short, I realized it about two seconds after the doors closed (which was exactly two seconds too late). We wound up traveling thirty minutes away from from our final destination, which caused us to miss our connecting train. Thankfully there were other trains that allowed us to make it to Wengen, although we were about two hours behind schedule due to the various departure times of trains (we also wound up having to travel on some local trains rather than the express trains, as well as having to purchase additional tickets to make it back to our original starting point). Next time, I will pay more attention to what the signs say at the train station rather than relying on my keen sense of direction (which apparently isn't so keen).

This guy was awesome. I have always wanted to see a St. Bernard with a cask of brandy around his neck, now I have...I am not sure how much he weighed, but it was certainly more than me. I didn't get a chance to stand by him but I would guess him to be around 30 inches tall at the shoulder and somewhere slightly more than 200 pounds.



The second dog I saw was a North Greenland Nordic dog. They use them for all sorts of sled pulling activities. There were about 20 - 30 of them but they were all sleeping, so I don't have any action shots. They basically look like a husky but are slightly different in appearance (although I couldn't really tell the difference other than the coloring). It would have been cool to see them pull a sled, but that will have to wait for my next visit.

This is a video I shot while up in the Jungfrau Mountains. I apologize for the shaky camera, I was tired from walking all the way up there...Enjoy!
