Tägerschen, Switzerland

I woke up to a gorgeous, sunny day, with the scents of Switzerland's countryside filling the air.

In the morning, Wally’s landlady, Ruth, invited us over for a chat and a glass of wine. At 91, she’s nothing short of incredible—staying fit with regular gymnastics and swimming. She’s sharp as a tack, managing her finances and even trading stocks. Truly inspiring!

Later in the afternoon, we headed to Tägerschen, about 20 minutes away, to visit Wally’s friend Claude. He has a lovely home with a pool—just what we needed to cool off on this warm Saturday. As the sun dipped behind the farmhouse next door, dinner was served. Claude treated us to a delicious Raclette with all the fixings, paired with a special Italian red from the Abruzzo region of Italy . Time flew by quickly among such great company and engaging conversations as jetlag reminded me it was already 11:30 PM .

It was a wonderful day and evening!Läs mer
