Chocolate and Cheese and Snow-Chains...oh my!! (Switzerland, day 3)

The third day of our Swiss adventure started with a morning drive to St. Moritz. We arrived shortly after lunch, ate a great meal, and went off to explore. The town was absolutely beautiful and each business was busily preparing for the opening of ski season...which happened to be the day after we were leaving! Christmas decorations adorned many windows and the mountains glistened with freshly fallen snow. It was the most quiet, beautiful day to enjoy the town.

Beautiful town of St. Moritz

After a day of exploring, we decided to eat dinner in our hotel. We shared a great meal and headed back out to see St. Moritz at night. We all agreed to enjoy a glass of wine in our room and then turn in for the night. It was such a relaxing day and we were so glad to see this part of Switzerland.

We awoke the next morning to snow! A lot of snow! A little wary of the drive home, we thought it best to get on the road early. After heeding the advice of the hotel manager, we drove to the nearest gas station to buy snow chains. It was a treacherous drive that took twice as long as normal, so we were very thankful for the snow chains and Caleb's expert driving!

Switzerland was such a treat and we were excited to have my parents experience the Alps covered in snow. We breathed a sigh of relief upon reaching a much drier Sacile, but were so thankful for such a wonderful trip.

Ciao!
