Snapshots of Engelberg

Well, my month of posting about Switzerland has come to an end, and next week I will be turning the page on the summer and begin sharing all the fun from my latest adventure of walking Wainwright’s Coast to Coast Trail with my friend, Diane.

But my memories of Switzerland would not be complete without these images of the gorgeous house where we stayed and its surroundings. We spent hours and hours enjoying this space, inside and out, and these photos will always conjure up for me memories of cool, calm mountain summer mornings and evenings.

I imagine that for many years to come, Engelberg will be the happy place I go to in my head when life gets too stressful. And in case I forget, I can always come back to these Snapshots of Engelberg to remember.

Peaches and oatmeal on the porch.

The pond out back.

And the way the sunshine made the trees sparkle in the water.

Sunny morning yoga on the tile patio.

Beautiful in the clouds.

And beautiful on blue sky days.

Walking to town.

Picnics in the park.

Going to the local abbey to buy cheese and bread.

Hearing the abbey bells.

And of course, the train station. The train whistle and the abbey bells kept time for us every day as the hours of summer slowly slipped by. Engelberg, I’m holding you close.
