Moo.... and some bratwursts

As we were leaving Italy, we missed it. I missed it! We have visited Italy 6 times and always had great stays. I've always found the Italian people patient, gentle, friendly... This was our first time staying in AirB&B and we had great experiences. The Siena place was state of the art modern, top of the line luxurious, in such great location. Our little cottage in rural Montalcino paradise was not as up to par in creature comfort, but it had great grounds. We always ended each day sitting outside, looking down the Tuscan hills, drank our wine and ate our snacks, as the sun set. Memories of a life time.

Soon we were descending to Zurich. This was the only time we checked our luggage (back to the nightmare a few hours ago...:-( but luckily ours were some of the first to arrive. Zurich airport transition to the train station was not anything like what I'd remembered just a few years ago. I had to hit the ATM for some Swiss Franc. Really Swiss?? The UK left an open spot for ya! while S got us tickets to Uzwil. We soon found ourselves back on the familiar Swiss train platform. And what else? the train was on time. Hahaha...

Some 40 minutes later we ware ready to step out to our cow country destination for the next 9 days.

My mother in law met us at the platform. She then took us to her summer home. It's 3 flights up with no lift. The ladies left me with EVERYTHING to bring up. I guess Man is King of the castle, but his wife is always the boss. I succeeded without pulling something major... We were soon settled in, I had a beer in hand and life was good. It was great to be home.

We went to the local CooP store to stock up her fridge. It had moved too. Sheesh... sometimes progress ought to slow down for old guys like me.

We got back, I wad handed a home mixed cocktail drink, and soon a dinner of bratwursts, rosti was on the table. I can get used to this forever. :-)
