day 17 – Second Breath

July 10, 2015

It feels like we’ve seen an awful lot of things already and i’m tempted to say that we’ve gathered enough there now for us to make something from.
I’d love to carry on with exploring until we’ve seen all of Switzerland but it’s not a country where you get around that easily!
Patrick says that the San Gotthard pass has a mythical status for the Swiss and it seems to me this holds true as much as ever; whether you come over it or through, it’s just as impressive.
Here in Variano it’s obviously quite different from the image of Switzerland we’d had in our minds and has taken a bit of getting used too but we’re very happy with what we’ve found and want to describe this as much as anything else we might have been thinking about before.
We’re somewhere very special, that’s for sure, and seems the best place for us to start showing what we’ve found.
We know we can’t talk about everything, a whole country, so we’re going to focus on talking about the little bits that we’ve seen, these smaller pieces of the larger picture.
In the next two weeks we’ll concentrate on looking and learning more about the Gambarogno area around the house.
