Throwback Thursday: The Mountains of Switzerland

On a post-college trek through Europe, my friends and I visited the town of Interlaken, nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps. This is the kind of place you think of when you think of traditional Swiss cities, with mountain dogs, swiss flags, elaborate wooden houses with colorful accents. Sadly no one dressed in traditional folk costumes, but the dolls in the windows were a decent substitute. But we didn't go to Interlaken just for the scenery–and it is stunning. We went there to test our courage. How you ask? Bungee jumping!
One of the scariest things I've ever done, I must say, but definitely memorable and something we'll all cherish forever. I think back to that trip, and I long for the day I can go back and try some of the many other extreme activities this city is known for. Until then, I'll reminisce with some of these photos.
