OK … so Reudi (my landlord – theoretically … well, we are pals – so actually we are friends – hard to consider him my landlord since he buys me beer!) grabbed me and asked me if I wanted to go on a tramp (walk) (hike) with our friend Ulrich through Faulensee on Friday! Well why not!!??
Let’s go!!
****We have pretty much one day of nice weather paired with a day of rainy weather here in our part of 
Switzerland. Well is that so terrible? I have a day of wet beer balanced with a day of dry beer – how bad is that?****
Wake up Friday to a beautiful Swiss sunny day. Reudi and I hop in his car and rip down the highway and through Spiez to Faulensee where Ulrich and his wife Edda live. (Actually, looks like there are few restaurants in Spiez worth visiting!!? We will see!)
Ulrich leads us on an hour walk (seemed like an hour and a half!) up and down 
the hills (mountains) around his town of Faulensee. Then down around the beautiful views around the 
Thunersee. Such a beautiful picture-perfect place.
Both Ulrich and Reudi are such brilliant guys – the lives they have lived. Living all over the world and the people they have worked with and around. Seriously it is fun just listening to them.
OK – Ulrich is good with English. Reudi and I are like two old guys lost on a 
desert island trying to understand each other. But, who cares we are buds! We figure it out.
I actually looked at an apartment in this town because it
is such a beautiful area. There is no doubt I could live in Switzerland. Such great people and well – it always looks like a post card. I could live here easily.
Anyway – here are some shots of this picturesque little area near my hometown of Gwatt.
