Rhine Falls Friday

Friday was a bit overcast, but Lara Butner's trusty iPhone assured us that it would be sunny in the afternoon.  The crew caught a train for Rhine Falls.  

Here is what my tripso says
Tourists have been awed by the Rhine Falls for centuries. In the 19th century, the painter J. M. W. Turnermade several studies and larger paintings of the falls, and the lyrical poet Eduard Mörike wrote of the falls:

I laughed at this description but it was true this waterfall was amazing.  On one bank the ruins of an old castle on the other a sweet alpine adventure course.

We did ride the boat out to the small platform and stair to the island.  Amazing!!!! The Anseth have now crossed the Rhine like some many other would be conquerors.

We then total dominated an alpine ropes course.  Katie and I were so impressive they ask if we were from Montana.

Here are some shots from a great day.  Still can figure out how to include video. We are very blessed to have the Butners as our guides.
