I love having different views of spectacular vistas during my solo train tour of Switzerland.
I have recognized that there will be different views depending on where I am sitting in each train. During this trip I am developing different views about my wish to figure out in advance which seats will have the best views.
Because there is no way of my knowing which of all the possible views are the best, I am practicing different views of ways to experience the views. For example, if I realize that different vantage points have new views I would like to experience in the moment, I may change my position to see those different views. If that change is difficult, I can just accept that the different views I’m seeing are enough.
Practicing this different view of experiencing views is making this trip even better.
Are you ready for the different views in this post?

I love eliciting different views with my last question of the day.

On Be Late for Something Day, I am trying to embrace different views of my usual urge to never, ever be late for anything.
Thanks to all who are here for the different views in this post!
a beautiful adventure and all about perspective
Thanks for your beautiful perspective, beth.
The Matterhorn from the balcony of your tiny room in Zermatt is hard to beat. But the part I needed to read was your decision to stop trying to work out in advance which seat has the best view — I burn a ridiculous amount of a train ride doing exactly that, usually while whoever’s in the aisle seat sees everything anyway. Enjoy Switzerland.
I am definitely enjoying your comments!
“On 22 August 1871, while wearing a white print dress, Lucy Walker became the first woman to reach the summit of the Matterhorn,[51] followed a few weeks later by her rival Meta Brevoort.” Wiki

Thanks for sharing, Barbara. WordPress flagged this as possible spam, so I hope we don’t have any more problems with your comments moving forward! 💙
It was a great photo of a group of women with alpenstocks climbing toward the Matterhorn – I had hoped that a copy of the photo would transfer, but no. Just the URL. I took a chance.
So far we are continuing our climb together, Barbara.
Seeing observatories in Switzerland, which I never knew were there but it makes sense because high elevations are ideal for viewing the universe from Earth, has changed my view of that country. But then no matter where I go I can’t resist looking up.
Things are always looking up around here when you show up, Chris.
