"Matte" "Horn" ~ "Meadow" "Peak" ~ Vacation Souveniers

The Matterhorn derives its name from two German words: Matte meaning meadow and Horn meaning peak.  The Matterhorn has become an iconic emblem of the Swiss Alps and the Alp's in general.

Geno, I and our two traveling buddies (Geno's brother and wife) just returned from 2 weeks in Germany, France and Switzerland.  We ended up in Zermatt with the goal to investigate the Matterhorn and the glaciers from top to bottom.  The sights were unbelievable and here are just a few of our souveniers:

The Matterhorn

Kristine Ginsberg created an incredible post on her recent vacation.  I agree totally our pictures are the best souveniers and serve as far better memories than all those trinkets I see sold.

My Donald lived in Germany for a few years.  Loved the food and the local beers.  I love your photos and home to see it myself one of these days.

Dorie - not only are your photos beautiful, but I love the way you displayed them in a collage. I'm sure you and Geno had a great time and what a wonderful place to visit! Looking forward to more photos - I've always had a fascination with the Swiss Alps!

Good morning Tammy,

Germany is a great place..they are doing well as their economy is strong considering the rest of the world. The Swiss Frank in Switzerland was out of sight but their economy is stable!
