Previous summers I’ve spent a lot of time coding in flip-flops at the pool (while my son did swim team), and while I may do a similar thing with the lake here, this summer I hope to log a significant amount of coding time in hiking boots up on a mountain.

This has been my first summer working for myself, and the flexibility has really been great. (Previous summers I’ve worked from home with a relatively flexible schedule but as a full-time employee for someone else.)

My son has a friend visiting from overseas for three weeks, so we’re trying to balance work, showing them around, and taking some summer vacation days. After all, I can’t let them stay inside and play Fortnite all day!
Mostelberg
Morning mountain: Mostelberg above Sattel. This is a small one (1200m), but it’s only about 15 minutes from home. I took the boys up here this morning to run around while I refactored some Core Data managed object relationships and network calls.
Lauterbrunnen Valley
It was also just a beautiful morning in the Lauterbrunnen Valley (aka Rivendell).
Trümmelbach Falls selfie
Trümmelbach Falls selfie. There was an impressive amount of water moving through these chutes.
Trümmelbach Falls
This morning we visited Trümmelbach Falls, a series of 10 glacier-fed waterfalls mostly hidden in a fissure in the wall of Lauterbrunnen Valley. Made me think of Henneth Annûn from the Lord of the Rings.
Roxy selfie
Browsing selfies took me to this early 2016 selfie taken with Roxy, our rescue St Bernard. I wish she would have lived to come to Switzerland with us.

Allmendhubel
View of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau mountains from Allmendhubel. Hard to believe that only 45 minutes before this photo was taken we were sheltering from hail and heavy rain!
