We've been hiking...

We've been hiking lots this weekend....twice---which for me is a lot. It's been a lot of fun. Friday was our first free afternoon, and a bunch of us went down to a waterfall, which I have a picture of but it didn't come out that great. It was really fun to splash around the very, very cold water....and not as fun to hike uphill on the way back. We tasted these lovely wild berries along the way.
On Saturday, we went hiking again to the Col de Jaman; "col" is the French word apparently for low point between mountain passes or something like that. Well, actually we were suppose to walk part of the way to this restaurant to eat a lovely Swiss breakfast....but it did turn out to be a hike. Here is a cow I met along the way:
And here's some of the view....

We had a wonderfully beautiful hike on the way back....most of which I spent listening to a very interesting conversation on the Serbian/Croatian conflict...which suddenly stopped when we came to a crossroads and started walking on this trail shared by the railway tracks. The trail then became a very steep, and then became only railway tracks. It was interesting when the train slowly passed with our bodies only a foot away, our eyes diverting the dirty glance from the train conductor.
