So, here we are in Locarno, Switzerland, and we haven't posted in a coon's age. Oops. Hopefully both Erik and I posting simultaneously now will make amends for that.

It has been an incredible time here in Switzerland, and we have been so lucky to have Claudia von Orelli (a friend of mine from CLBI in Camrose) as a gracious host/tour guide. Meeting her family, staying with her in Basel, and getting a brief taste of this beautiful country will all be an unforgettable part of this trip for us.

After Basel, including a day trip to Bern (the capital), we went to Lucerne (where all the milk in Canada comes from), then on to Lugano. We did a sweet hike up mountains, saw Novaggio (where Claudia grew up), stayed in Lugano, now we are in Locarno.

This afternoon we are taking a scenic train to the French part of Switzerland, and we will be staying in her family's chalet there! We can't wait.

Internet (and everything else) is expensive here, but we will try to be more dilligent in posting in the future. Thanks for tuning in.
