In 2007, Pam Stucky and five other family members embarked on a family heritage trip to Switzerland. Throughout their travels, Pam and her "cub reporters" wrote home regularly to bring the trip to life for friends and family. Together, the six travelers enjoyed a trek through a vineyard trail, took a ride on a Chocolate Train, traveled to the "Top of Europe," made trips to two different cheese factories, and experienced a unique visit to an alpenhorn factory. The group ate rösti and double cream over berries, climbed hundreds of stairs, visited dozens of ancestral sites, and witnessed an unusual but fabulous array of toilets. Pam on the Map: Switzerland is a short travelogue recounting those tales. Filled with wit and wanderlust, Pam on the Map: Switzerland shares the humor and wonder of a family on a quest to discover the country their ancestors once called home. Pam on the Map: Switzerland is one of the "retrospective" books in the Pam on the Map series.
