comfortably in the alps

Having a hard time connecting up here. More difficult to post pictures. I just got on, we will see how long it lasts. We came up to the Hüsli yesterday with Regula and Peter just in time to grill dinner. Beautiful evening, and falling asleep to the sound of the water running into the well, and the cow bells.

Woke up this morning, enjoyed a cup of espresso while watching the sun light up the valley below. We drove a through a few small towns, each with obligatory water troughs, geranium filled window boxes, and of course, cows. We hiked along a stream, ending up at a restaurant filled with bicyclists and hikers. Peter jokes that the bicyclists are the swiss joggers. A few beers and a cheese and ham plate later, we return to our hike. Darrin is enjoying the food- cold smoked ham, sharp cheese, and amazing bread. We drove to Spietz for sightseeing, and grocery shopping. Back to the Hüsli for grilled cervela, chicken, salad, and more wine and beer. What goes well with a few drinks in switzerland but target practice. good thing Darrin went out with Eric. He was able to hit the can with a pellet gun. Regula was the star shot of the evening.

So now the thunderstorms are rolling through the valley below. It is time to go in.
