Original Toronto Star caption: Jumping over a mountain is easy for Swiss children as many of them live over a mountain and skipping is a favorite game. Though German; French and Italian are the most popular languages; you'll find English spoken everywhere-even by children you stop to ask directions. You can't expect to make great time on most Swiss roads but they're beautifully engineered through the mountains so that you never get the feeling of driving on the edge of nothing as you do in some lands.
