mountains of euro

Hi folks,

It has been a time of amazing transitions, from swimming on a hot day in the Mediteranean in Vernazza to shivering on the top of a glacier in the Engadine Alps of Switzerland.

It was also time to say goodbye to MB and Bill in Bellagio. We had a great hotel there called the Belvedere, which means good view. Mostly we sunned by the pool and stared dreamily at the rainbows, mountains, and the endless expanse of Lake Como.

Today we will drive through Switzerland, where unlike Italy, most folks do not speak English and the euro is not the currency. We rode a big tram up to the Diavolezza glacier which looks to be a mouth wateringly good ski area in winter.
