switzerland, germany, & the netherlands

i am exhausted from sorting through all these photos.  please excuse my uninformative captions.  these are from the days spent with my wonderful relatives in vevey, switzerland.  it was the most relaxing few days of the trip, despite the mountain hike.  after are some photos of heidelberg and amsterdam.  by this time, i was honestly getting tired of having my camera on me at all times so there are fewer.
