    Eventually it became clear that they were leaving the mountain landscapes behind. Would they recognize them if they passed that way again? (Not that they had any plans to do so). They had folders full to bursting with souvenirs. “I can still see it in my mind’s eye…” ran the stock phrase. But why the…
