The Rheinfall, Switzerland
For the past several summers, Philly and I have made a week-plus trip to Europe with daughter Maria and her longtime friend Erin. The 2017 edition of our traditional summer trip took us to eastern Switzerland and southern Germany, with a special bonus stop along the way in Chicago for a birthday surprise for Maria.
We had rental cars for most of this trip, and we covered a lot of ground. Our itinerary included: Our “bonus stop” in Chicago; the magnificent Rheinfall in northern Switzerland; Lucerne; spectacular Mt. Pilatus; Lindau, Germany; Castle Neuschwanstein (Fussen/Hohenschwangau); Munich; Stuttgart; and the Black Forest.
