More from Lugano

Everywhere is a panoramic view. That is Italy in the far back.


Streets of Lugano.

The view from Mt. Bre. We did a lot of hiking around. After waiting for what seemed like forever at a restaurant we finally got some food and the went to our room to pass out.

Lugano

Hello from Lugano. Penni and I arrived after a very long flight and then had a 3 hour train ride to Logano. Switzerland is very beautiful.
