Colleen and Peter departed yesterday morning after their week-long holiday in Switzerland. I hope this trip gave them the relaxation and break that they were looking for. I sensed that both were longing to return home to see their children.

We spent the extended weekend doing city tours in Zurich, St. Gallen, and Stein am Rhein. The weather didn't cooperate for snowshoeing nor for a trip to the Saentis. At least we didn't have rain. We had the obligatory cheese fondue, fondue chinoise, and roesti. It was great having them here and showing them my side of the world.
