Holidays Part 1

This year we went to the very north of Italy (Piemont) for our vacation. We stayed in a nice house up on a hill, very close to the Swiss border into the Ticino. There we had a great time and even welcomed some friends as visitors to our place. Here you see us climbing the Monte Bre, a steep and very high mountain. It was hot and quite a piece of work for me to get there - but I made it!

After this great tour (and a lot of food afterwards t
o compensate for all the calories I had burned ...) we continued to enjoy our vacations in various locations. The next picture shows you my dear Claudia and myself in the middle of a stream at the Val Vercasca in Switzerland. Great place with lots of interesting things to look and sniff at.
