Last visit

This is *sniff* the last post from our trip to Switzerland. We packed a lot into our days...some of the things that we did during the last few days, we didn't take pictures. We took Nonno out to get him a digital camera. Both Pietro and Zio Enrico wanted to go to their cabin in the mountains. You can only reach the cabin on foot. Since it was the end of our visit, we had packing and errand running and such to do, so Enrico went alone while we finished up our odds and ends. Here is Enrico after he went up to the cabin and back down. He doesn't look too tired.
I think I would have been a wreck!

Next to Zio 'Rico is their cousin, Palma.



Here is another of Nonna's sisters, Zia Regina with me and Amedeo.


Look at that cute little garden! Look at that spectacular view! Amedeo was in heaven since Palma kept a big box of cars from her son. He did not want to leave.



On our trip home, we took a propeller airplane from Lugano to Zurich. Pietro took some pictures from the window.


Amedeo angelically fell asleep on the first plane. He did sleep for 3 hours on the next plane, but then, there are 6 more hours to fill. What to you do with a child on an airplane for 6 hours?
It'll be a while before I'm willing to get on another airplane again.


I want to stop and thank Pietro's parents for all of their kind hospitality. We had a wonderful time and wish that we could come every year!

Correction, Nonna's sister in the picture is not Zia Silde, but Zia Regina. I know with so many uncles and and aunts I have it is hard to remember which one is which.
