I’ve  had days even  in Switzerland that afford me not only time to do things, but also to have even additional quiet time to retreat from noise, electronics, and even the news (as annoying as that has been lately!).

My train experience  in Switzerland has been top notch.  They are relatively inexpensive, efficient, clean, easy to maneuver, and provide great transportation especially between Milan  and Zurich.  I believe there are 28 trains a day between these two financial centers.  Making arrangements for travel gives me the opportunity to walk (1.5 miles) to the main train station, get information on scheduling and costs., and then begin to plan some visits and stops after my fun visit to Lugano.   Coming to the end of the day, the waning gibbous (how’s that for an astronomical term!) is shining over famous Monte San Salvatore.   Stay tuned for some updates on more adventures.
