i've been to rocky moutains, canadian and american; also been to alaska. not foreign to them big rocks, i shall say.
but i am quite surprised by the alps. nothing to do with those "passes" or "impasse":-), but this harmonious mixture of civilization and nature: every rock that reaches beyond the sky is also nurtured, at the bottom, by meticulous greens and decorated, at the top, by impeccable imprints of human beings.
no time to snowboard; so took a book wtih me on the train ride up to the top: the sound and the fury.
the train rides to and fro Zermatt
were most unforgettable. long hours. mostly alone. didn't even bother with a book. in a different world. of peace and content.
what else does one need? but the mind
can still be elsewhere, too.
