Laowai

I’ve just returned from a trip to Switzerland. I spent a great week visiting with Brian and Bea.

I felt bad leaving Claire home – she couldn’t come since she is taking a summer school class plus she is working. But luckily she had a companion.

I arrived in the morning and within a couple hours Bea and I were enjoying a refreshing swim in Lake Zurich. I brought her paddleboard from Wilmette – she bought me a Brezelkönig. A fair trade.

The next day they took me to the mountains. To the Brunni area and the popular Grosser Mythen peak.

I haven’t walked up a hill with elevation more than a meter in a very long time. So I decided to do only part of the hike. I sat in a restaurant and ate plum tart and knitted and gazed at the beautiful view. Brian and Bea did a classic hike to the top of that big rock below.

Here’s the restaurant where they ate at the top.

Here’s their snack.

Here’s their view. I’m down there in that building below.

Then we all hiked back down to the bus stop.

More refreshments along the way.

I think I took a photo of this girl or her relative back in 2020 (at the bottom of this post).

Meanwhile I got updates from Claire – Edgar was settling in.
