Question

What is the topic sentence of this story My most vivid memory from childhood is traveling to the top of the Zugspitze mountain in Germany. The day we went up the Zugspitze is the day that I learned that there can be a surprising difference in temperature between the ground and the top of a mountain. It was warm on the ground that day, but it got colder and colder the higher up the mountain that we went. On the ground everything was green, but the mountaintop was covered with snow. When it was time to go back down the mountain we rode in a cable car. I remember thinking at the time that it was as though we had travelled down from winter back into spring.
