Icicle in the Swiss Alps

“Whether I was conversing with passengers using only hand gestures and a Rick Steve’s phrasebook or sprinting through the metro tunnels of Paris to catch my train to Marseilles, I’ve never had as much fun — and left with better stories to tell — than when I traveled by train through Europe. This particular view was captured on the last few minutes of my train trip to Switzerland. The solitary icicle caught my eye as I took in the breathtaking mountain view. For tourists like me, traveling by train offers a welcome respite from the miles of walking and sightseeing, while still allowing us to see and experience new things in a foreign country: all from a window seat.”
