Switzerland and Germany are nice. Especially Switzerland. If you travel over there, do it by train: gas is expensive, and Europe has a well-developed passenger rail network (subsidized, no doubt). Paris was OK, but the subway and RER (passenger rail) stations were probably the most colorful thing I saw in that city. Take the TGV (France’s high-speed train) if you can, and purchase a Eurail Pass to save money, if they still have those.

Canada is a beautiful country, at least from what I saw of it. Ontario 401, however, reminds me of the Matrix Reloaded freeway chase. Cars whizzing along 20 kph over the speed limit (one of them was mine). Vancouver, BC was nice, too.

The scenery out west is spectacular. I took two roadtrips out west (that’s why all those states are red).

Pleased you enjoyed Switzerland because I’m especially excited about going there.
Sounds more low key and scenic.
Aside from the Louvre in Paris, I think that Switzerland will be one of my favorites.

Will also visit England, Liechtenstein, Austria, Italy and Germany.
I’m actually quite overwhelmed at times just thinking about it!
