A day in the Alps; time in their village
... at a ski area that is open in the summer for hiking and rides up the gondolas. We rode two legs of the gondola up to a restaurant at the midlevel, past many hikers looking like true Swiss people with their poles and and backpacks. We ate at the restaurant at the midlevel, a leisurely meal outside in the sun overlooking snowcapped mountains, hiking trails and awesome views. We ate traditional Swiss food. My meal was ...

Kel now appears to have fallen asleep, and I'm not sure if she's gotten into her pyjamas already or not...ah well.
