Engelburg is in the Swiss Alps and Tim and I just loved this place. It is a winter wonderland, to match any around the world. We took a Cog Train up the mountains into this small village and were treated to excellent food, views, hotel and great conversation. I told Tim that this would be a great place to retire. e never made it back.

Tim loved to be with the people of any country. He liked to go where the everyday people went, stay away from the touristy places. So we went to a local bar and had some great conversation and made some great memories. While sitting there enjoying the very good beer we ordered a cheese plate. It was also very good and sort of a surprise that a little bar would have such good cheese. Well the cheese plate was about gone when Tim picked up one of the last peices poped it in his mouth only to realize it was a cake of butter.

Tim knew how to make a dollar go along way. We were taking a train trip in Switzerland and wanted a hotel near the train station. So when entering the lobby of the hotel everyone in the lobby stopped to see who these two guys were. We were in an old folks home or something like that. Tim and I were the youngest people in the hotel, you could just feel all the stares directed towards us. Anyway later that night we were asleep when I hear Tim talking in his sleep. Swish, swish I kept hearing Tim was sking down the mountains in his sleep. The next morning I woke up only to realize that we had a public bathroom. I believe that was the fastest bath I have ever taken. At breakfast I told Tim we should get a better hotel the next time.
