This week was all about wellness. Fitness, food, company, and taking in the sights.   I got to hang out in Zürich as a local.  Pictures above courtesy of Roots restaurant https://rootsandfriends.com/ located above Balboa gym.  Post workout. Delicious vegan menu.

Also participated in Yvonne’s dance class. Loved her choreography!  

Backbar https://www.backbar.ch/  bakery just a couple blocks away from Yvonne’s.  Loved their quiche! 
Also thought using a glass for the macchiato was cool!


Spent an afternoon with Eugenia, Yvonne’s mom walking for hours and seeing the sights.  Boy can she motor!

9.21-22.2024 Milan

  Picture of Duomo.   Milan was vibrant, jam packed, surrounded by historical buildings, tons of shopping options and culinary delights.   We stayed at 21 House of Stories  https://21houseofstories.com/ .  Enjoyed free Asana yoga class in the am.  Wandered around until we found a restaurant that didn’t have a line up around the corner…with it being fashion week… Had an incredible dinner at iL Kaimano of stuffed zucchini flowers, fresh artichoke heart salad, mushroom pasta and also a tomato gnocchi.  Thankfully Yvonne and I shared everything otherwise I would have had to limit the dishes!  It was so delicious we went back next day for lunch.  Rinse and repeat the salads… We wandered around in the evening. Anything social was packed with the party spilling into the street. Gelato filled croissant and espresso… our breakfast of champions.

The trail does tighten up and the last 400 meters were steep. Doable, but definitely not in flip flops!  To make things interesting, the last hour or so the  snow was falling sideways across our faces.  Erasing the trail.   No sign of the hut either.  Then we noticed a flag at the peak where we headed.  Soooo relieved!!! Thankfully we made it in time before the white-out.  Safe and sound in the hut while the snow continued to fall.  I ...
