Day 16 - Jasper

We declared today a rest day we want to spend with Wally’s friends. Ruth is from Tramelan in the Jura and works at the local hospital as a nurse. Chrigel is from Adelboden. He works odd jobs in the off-season and as a mountain guide during the summer.

We would have liked to circle the lake, but the trail was too wet, and we didn’t have the proper shoes. It was also cold and windy.

Up to this point, we have already shot several rolls of color slides and Super-8 film. Tomorrow, I want to mail these treasures to our friend Bernhard in New York for safety.Read more
