Saturday’s hike down was harder than expected. I mostly hike up then take a lift down, so I was wiped at the end of the day (which also included 3 hours of driving and waking up at 5).

Miglieglia trip, day 1
This weekend we visited the medieval village of Miglieglia in Ticino, the southern Italian-speaking region of Switzerland. Saturday we took a cable car up to Monte Lema, had lunch, then hiked down 930m back to town. We ate dinner in 1 of 2 restaurants in town and then crashed.
Pilatus
I caught a view of Pilatus, which I hope to hike next Tuesday.

Something I really enjoy
Something I really enjoy is triaging work emails or catching up on my technical reading list from the top of a mountain. This morning it was reading NSHipster’s excellent article on WWDC 2019.

Alp cheese
I might not have made it all the way up Pilatus today, but at least I picked up some local cheese!
