Ellie is Here!


Tom's sister Ellie got here a week ago and so we've been doing some site-seeing. This weekend we took a trip to Lugano, Switzerland. Even though it's just 3 hours away and in the same country, it feels totally different. For one they speak Italian and two they have palm trees! It was a good trip, but too short. We'll have to go back sometime :)

In front of Lake Lugano - we took a funicular up to the top of the mountain in the background later that day.

From the top of San Salvadore - beautiful view! (The panoramic picture above is taken from here)

The Swiss love their flower boxes. I thought this house was very pretty.

About to enjoy our delicious desserts!

On top of a really big dam. If you've seen Goldeneye, this is the dam Bond did a bungee jump off of. We could have followed in his footsteps for 275 Swiss Francs.

What fun pics! I think you should do the Bond bungee next time you're there... :) How'd you take that panoramic shot??? It's awesome!

Wow, you have so many visitors come see you! You are very loved. I hope Ellie had/is having a great time.

I'm firing your cups and saucers tomorrow, keep your fingers crossed!!!!!


Love you,
