Here I am on my 50th birthday on top of a mountain in Switzerland. It was a beautiful day to sit and contemplate life, the universe, and everything. I had a cup of coffee and the pipe I made myself, for just such an occasion.
From where I'm sitting, I have a nice view of the Interlaken region.
On the other side of the fence is a steep drop down to the flat country side leading to Bern.
I stayed with a very nice farmer and his wife, who live in an old house built in the 1700s. None of the ceilings were high enough for me to stand up straight.
The cattle only walk across the mountain, and not up or down, so they make some interesting ridges in the ground.

What an amazing view! Thanks for providing pictures, it helped bring the story to life. The cattle ridges are very cool. I can't believe they are visible from so far away!
50 ... mountains, pipe, coffee, and cows... hummm... I don't think that's how I picture celebrating my 50th..... a long, long, long time from now.
Love ya! Glad you had fun!
