Before the Byrds returned to Texas we all spent a weekend in the village of Zermatt, which lies in the shadow of the famous Matterhorn. This time of year Zermatt is pretty much done with the skiers, but the summer tourists haven't arrived yet. So the village was pretty quiet. It did snow on us at times, which meant the mountain was shrouded in clouds, but we didn't mind because it gave us an excuse to do some shopping. Finally, on our last day we took the train to the top of the Gornegrat observation area, where we all got great views of the famous mountain. Many people who visit Zermatt never see the Matterhorn due to bad weather, so the fact that we got to see the mountain was the perfect way to cap off a 10 day adventure.
"Where's the mountain?"
