Monte Generoso

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.  Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.  The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. " John Muir

After our intro to finance final exam, we had the opportunity to go to the top of Monte Generoso, our last chance before the train shuts down for the winter season. We were supposed to take the train part of the way up and hike the remainder for about an hour, but unfortunately because of the snow on the footpath we had to take the train almost the entire way up. The views at the top of the mountain were unbelievable. On one side you could see Italy and Lake Como, and on the other you could see Switzerland and the Matterhorn. The sky was clear and it couldn't have been a more gorgeous day to trek to the top of the mountain. We'll have to see how the views hold up against Jungfraujoch (the highest point in Europe!!!) in Interlaken this weekend though :)
