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.
Today we hiked between the Engadin villages of Lavin and Guarda, ate lunch in Guarda, got a tour (in German) of Tarasp Castle, dinner at a steakhouse in Scuol, then relax at the spa. I could get used to this routine of spa after hiking!

Yesterday we drove to Scuol in eastern Switzerland for the 3-day weekend. We took a cable car from Scuol up to Motta Naluns, ate lunch there, then hiked down to Ftan. We had Thai for dinner then relaxed in the pools at the Bad Scuol (spa) until they closed at 10pm.
Summer! (at the top of the Flüelapass at 2,383m on the way to Scuol in eastern Switzerland)
Home in time for WWDC! (And work, and school, and German classes.)
Left our hotel at dawn to take the first vaporetto of the day up the Grand Canal to where we’d left our car at Piazzale Roma. We wanted to make an early start to beat the worst of the northbound traffic in the Gotthard Tunnel to cross the Alps. Pesky mountain ranges!
