Our guests left this morning after a very full 10 days of Swiss touring: they walked Bern, rode the Golden Pass Train, toured Chillon and Lausanne, visited Murten and Avenches, hiked to Kleine Scheidegg, snow-tubed on the Jungfrau, hiked in Zermatt, toured Neuchatel and Lucerne.\u00a0 And most evenings found them eating very well:\u00a0 either they were making Indian-style food for us or were invited out for BBQ.<\/p>\n

Jon knew Anil from working together in San Rafael.\u00a0 But neither of us knew his family: wife Beth and sons Zachary and Austen.\u00a0 They have traveled a lot, including trips to India and China that were decidedly not luxurious.\u00a0 So having a home base to work from made it a relaxing vacation for them.\u00a0 And they are easy to be with, consistently agreeable and considerate making it a relaxing visit for us.<\/p>\n
