February 23rd - SBB CFF FFS

SBB CFF FFS
Looking around the living room for something to shoot without spending TOO much time tonight... I gotta put in some family time once in a while too ya know... and my eyes fell on our souvenir from Switzerland. We spent 2 wonderful weeks in Switzerland last Summer with our friend Maurice and his folks. It was the best vacation ever. We loved the train system so much we had to bring home this clock. The letters SBB CFF FFS are the initials for "Swiss Railway System" in German, then French, then Italian - the 3 official languages of Switzerland.
