 My mom's relatives.

 This church has the skulls of it's members in the building. It was done so family could come and visit them and still, "see their face."

The family who ran the hotel we stayed at in Lumbrein.

 The view out our window as it snowed on the mountains.

Our tiny bathroom.

The place mat from the restaurant we visited.

It was a wonderful time in Switzerland. We were able to meet my mom's family, although the language barrier was difficult. We are able to see the town where my mom's father and his family grew up and see some of her cousins who still live nearby.
