Hello all, now to the best part of our trip so far... Our friend Ingo, from Freiburg, told us about this agricultural cooperative in the remote Ticino region of Switzerland. We had previously written to them while in Sarnen, and we super excited when we received the positive mail from Ulrico, one of the founders, a couple of days later .

Good One
Nice One! I went fishing with Mick and co. in Hana yesterday. Got about 20 Minpachis. We spent the night sleeping on a rocky cliff in the rain:) Glad you are having fun. Luck. Mike and Sandpaper

Hello Em and James!
Ingo and I just came back from a short trip to Malaga in Spain. Fine to hear that you had a good time in Pianta Monda with Ulrico and Sanna (is she still knitting those funny carpets with that meter long knitting needles?). Those little stone-"Hobbit"-houses are amazing, right? Did you find the time to vitis the so called "Spluis", too? Best wishes and hugs Charis and Ingo

Your blogs
Thanks for keeping us up on your interesting trip! Grandpa is very jealous of your adventures and the scenery, and Betty is jealous of the scenery but NOT without running water! ;)
