day 8 – Lago Maggiore, Ticino, Switzerland

July 1, 2015

Elis _ today it was quite cloudy and the mountains almost disappeared. The lake looked very dark. It was very hot so we went swimming in the lake.
Peter – Lake Maggiore is a world of its own and wonderful and full of things to say about itself. Even still, we both want to see something of what we continue to think of as the real Switzerland, a clumsy way of saying that we want to see the Alps, the Berner Oberland where alpinists climb up snow covered mountains and where they make the yoghurt we’ve been eating non-stop since our arrival.
To have a different viewpoint, to see how our region Ticino fits as an edge-piece into the jigsaw-puzzle of cantons that make up Switzerland.
