Lugano - Another Sweet October Break

I just couldn't choose between these pictures. Perpetual pondering has left me with no choice but post them all, or fall ridiculously behind on my posts. It is a traffic jam!

Lugano, its steep mountains, ornate architecture and people who put a good nights sleep in an espresso sandwich. Lugano is a place that I could live. Yep. No problem.

River Kayaking Extravaganza

We drove out towards Chur on a foggy, rainy fall morning for a two day course. After an intensive lesson we stayed up out of the gorge in this quaint village, with this little church and this skiny cow.

The kayaking was more technically challenging that I had anticipated and actually quite scary around tight river bends; this deriving from my fear of rolling and being stuck in the kayak. Well, as one might expect, that never happened.

Kerenzerberg Grade 6 Trip

The rain held out for us on another school trip to Kerenzerberg. Though the hikes were gorgeous, the highlight was, of course, Storm The Castle, a dodgeball alternative with few to no rules and a lot of gymnasium equipment (read: anarchy). My favourite part was the campfire. I returned to my Girl Guide days singing legendary repeat-after-me songs and, yes, On Top of Spagetti. I loved it!
