I feel as though I was there! I may go to Europe again (doubt it, but you never know), but certainly will never go to the Swiss Alps. Years ago, 1972, I took the train from Venice to Vienna and had some spectacular views of the Alps. But it didn't feel close, like this.
The music at the end was a bit of a surprise. I guess that represents the cultural shock you will experience as you go from mountain country to urban NYC. I like Cat Power very much. New to me. Listened to a bit of her music on YouTube after checking out your video.
Yeah music at the end is a bit of home coming! You know the country is so much more than our politics and "leaders in power". We must remind ourselves of that. Call me an escapist :)
Oh yes. We have to have our own little bubble that is a refuge.
Have you read Ferdinand?
The bull who love to smell flowers? We all need some of that sometimes.

😇 I just read it on Project Gutenberg. My husband would say (and most people who know me would agree) I have a large dose of Ferdinand in me...and I'm really, really happy about that.
