Yes, I know I missed yesterday,

Maybe most of you did not notice? These were two really fine days. Yesterday we used the car to go to the next side valley to a nice village "Grimentz". It is a popular ski area in the winter. We took a gondola (which the French call a bandola?). It was really pleasent at the restaurant sun deck way up over tree line. This village was one of my favorites. Wish I could show you more images as I did take a few. Today was our first adventure taking the mountain bus way down the valley to Sion. There we took two trains (one at a time) to Kandersteg in the Bernese Oberland (sort of the center of Switzerland) we have been here 20 years ago. Not any changes. Hope you like the pictures.

As always

Lowell

Long rake
Annie, Yes on the very steep slopes they rake the hay down hill. Easier I guess. Lots of families involved. Not just men's work. Lowell
