We have been on the road since last Saturday, mainly in La Punt, Switzerland in the Alps. This part of Switzerland is near the border of Italy (though the language of the area is Romanisch (imagine a mash-up of German & Italian). I keep looking for Julie Andrews as we hike through some Alpine meadow with Edelweiss and Swiss cows (they do wear bells) in the background. A few of our favorite things about this part of the Alps are: hiking above the tree line with no bugs and stunningly beautiful views, delicious Swiss breads, mountain train rides through crazy tunnels and over bridges, turquoise mountain lakes, and lots of time together. The ability to sneak over the border to enjoy an Italian lunch doesn't hurt either. Soon we will pack up & head to France....our general tour is shown below...
Amazing....what great memories you will all have. Yes I would be looking for Julie A also!!
