Through the Lens of Life: Capturing the Beauty in Every Moment
Sounds fabulous, I hope Danny will let me go with him next time he goes to see Dr.Berkson. I miss those kids and of course Elina and David. Would love to see you guys when you are in town.
The pond looks wonderful, you are the best friends anybody would have the fortune of to know.
Take Care,
Love, Linda & Danny
Hello from Switzerland
Liebe Jackie und lieber Marco
Wir bedanken uns ganz herzlich für die tollen Erlebnisse und Eindrücke,welche wir mit Euch zusammen in Amerika erleben durften. Auch wenn wir nur einen kleinen Teil der USA gesehen haben, haben wir doch eines festgestellt: “Alles ist etwas grösser……..”.
Diese Ferien werden uns in guter Erinnerung bleiben und wir danken Euch für die super Reiseführung. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die gemachten und erhaltenen Fotos werden uns noch lange an diesen Trip erinnern.
Liebe Grüsse wieder aus der sonnigen Schweiz.
Astrid und Andrej
I think that you made the best out of this trip. Of course, there would have been many more natural beauties to visit, but the short time didn’t allow it. The good thing is that there will be room enough for the next visit to this wonderful corner of the USA. I am sure that Andrej and Astrid have acquired a taste to make another tour (including the big trees and probably a short vacation on a houseboat on Lake Powell and Moab). I wish a safe trip back to Switzerland (but don’t hurry, it’s cold and snowy!!). See you in Zurich soon. Best regards to everybody!

I am still following your trip with great interest. Many years ago I also stopped at St. George after having passed Zion (which I never really liked, because it’s too much similar to Switzerland). In St. George we wanted to visit the Mormon Cathedral, but no way to get inside. Only Mormons are allowed to do so. What is your next destination? Las Vegas I guess. On the way back to the Pacific Coast, you could try to pass the Death Valley, or even staying there overnight (we did it last year, just great). Whatever you do, take care and enjoy your wonderful journey. And keep me/us informed about your itinerary on your daily blog. Stay in warm California as long as you can, as Switzerland came back to cold and snow!
Kindest regards to everybody

I appreciate your daily blog so much. For me it’s like being with you and enjoying the whole trip 1:1. Yes, Cedar Breaks is always closed in winter. Zion was never my favorite, as I had the feeling to enter the “Lauterbrunnen-Tal” in Switzerland. But to visit Zion between Bryce Canyon and St. George/Las Vegas is OK. When I stayed in St. George for the first time, I wanted to visit the Mormon Temple. But as a non-mormon, you are not allowed to do so. However, we were “cought” by a Mormon and his only goal was to bring us to convert to the Mormon religion. Of course, we denied, but it was hard to get released from this person. After St. George, our next stop was in Las Vegas. I guess that will be your coming route too. Try the Tropicana Hotel in LV. We got a great rate there. I assume that a “detour” to Moab would be too long. A good reason to come back to the Southwest again soon. If you want to experience a really excellent and special dinner in LV, try “Roy’s” (620 East Flamingo Road). It’s not cheap, but it’s simply great as it is a so called fusion kitchen of Hawaiian and Asian food. For dessert, don’t miss the famous “Chocolate Soufflé”!!! It’s a dream. But anyway: Enjoy Las Vegas and hopefully you will be lucky with gambling.
Best regards from snowy Zurich
