Today my somewhere is Switzerland. It is definitely a place I would love to go to someday. Looking at pictures it feels like a whole different world with the alps and the other mountain ranges. Spectacular.

But lest you think Rick doesn't give us views of the alps, here he takes us on his exploration of the Jungfrau Region.

Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play.
