A walk at the edge...(around Bussalp to Grosse Scheidegg)








It was an incredibly beautiful walk...through evergreen forests, across meadows, past sparkling streams and tumbling water courses...Then we walked into the face of the mountains!!! Along the way, we encountered a little wooden shed with a sign, "ALPKASE", fresh cheese from a mountain dairy. Inside the shed were shelves of neatly stacked rounds of cheese, pungent and tempting. A farmer tended the store, selling to interested passerby. Ahh, Switzerland!

From Switzerland with love...









Seeing the mountains again, the sleek, bright snowy silhouette of the Silberhorn, the rugged towering height of the Jungfrau, the deep evergreen forests, the bright green meadows, the summertime extravaganza of flowers in window boxes, gardens, and fields, the strong, healthy people, all outfitted in hiking boots from age 3 to age 93, enjoying the fresh air, the warm sun, the quiet beauties of the place…Wengen welcomes us, and we are very happy to be back.

My mind is flooded with memories of the last time we were here, with Gwynn, David, and Jeffrey, a very happy time all together. Now there’s another in the family, our grandson Dashell. Hopefully, someday he also can share the fun & loveliness of this place with us.






From Switzerland with love...
