First time seeing the mountains

First time seeing the mountains

Mountains were part of a memorable place for me, too.  I was in the army in Germany and had a couple days’ leave and was taking the train, I’m not exactly sure where, but I think south of Munich to see the Alps. It was the first time that I, as a 19 year old, had ever seen mountains.  Then, what made it more special is after I got out of the army and I got married, and my wife and I went to Europe.  This was before we had children.  We had no money, but we had no children.  But we did go to Europe.  And she had never seen a mountain either, but we were taking that same trip south of Munich and going to Austria, and her reaction seeing those same mountains, was so similar to mine.  And so that was special.
