As a family that hails from seemingly endless generations of “Shenandoah Valley settled Irish-Presbyterians” we generally 
We stayed Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland on Tuesday evening (before continuing onward to northern Italy late Wednesday afternoon)… When we got there we were unfortunately greeted by on-again, off-again rain, but decided to venture out anyway to climb up to Staubach Waterfall, which overlooked the town (and of which we had an amazing view from right out of our guesthouse window!) The climb wasn’t too bad, and well worth the view of the village from the caves behind the falls… Although we did get a tad wet in the process! Haha :)

Staubach Waterfall… We climbed up to the cave behind it that afternoon… It was only one of many amazing falls in the area! :)
And the view from the top was worth it!
After hiking up to the falls, we decided to retire to the local pub… Which despite being the only pub in the little village of Lauterbrunnen, also claimed to be the best! It was clearly the hotspot hangout for all the locals and young base-jumpers, which was kind of cool… So we sat around for the evening, avoiding the rain, eating some burgers, and drinking several pitchers of beer… Our now 16 year-old Carolyn even had her first legal beer! :)
Ready for Carolyn’s first “legal” beer! :)
I can’t even begin to explain the hilarity that ensues when you put a few pitchers of beer, some fresh air, and my family together…
i guess you just had to be there… :)
With Love from Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland… <3 Mary Elizabeth
