This is the house Andreas grew up in, on a farm called "Lehn". Like many Swiss farms, the barn and house are actually one structure.

The doorway to the main barn where the cows are fed and milked.

This is the house Andreas's mother Klari now lives in, which is right next to the main house. His brother Hans Peter now owns the main house.

Klari and Andreas by her front door. Her house also has a barn attached, where the young calves reside.

Klari's beautiful garden behind her house. She grows many different flowers and vegetables every year.

View from inside Klari's living room. The lace curtains are very typical of those seen in Swiss farmhouses.

Road between the farm fields at Lehn. Hans Peter grows potatoes, corn and wheat.

Road winding up from Lehn to the neighboring houses.

Bridge over the Aare River in Bern, the capitol of Switzerland. Bern is about 20 minutes from Belp, where Andreas grew up.

A train passes by the highway.

Creek winding down a mountainside. Wildflowers seem to thrive everywhere in Switzerland, and postcard-perfect photos are easy to create!

One of the many glaciers seen in higher altitudes.

Typical "Sound of Music" view of the Swiss Alps.

Another stunning view looking over one of the many hundreds of gorgeous valleys.

Rocky Alps towering above a wooded mountainside.
