Hey Michael,<\/p>\n

Below is an email from my youngest Hannah that I would like you to share with the blog. You may recall she is over in Lugano Switzerland looking at her first choice school, Franklin College. She’ll be joined by her boyfriend Willy on Thursday and they will continue on to tour Italy. They will start their travels by overnight train to Naples, then on to Venice, Rome and Florence. They are really being quite money-smart about it by sleeping mostly on trains and in hostels preferring to spend their money on good food and sightseeing. I’m very proud of her travel spirit!<\/p>\n

I’ll keep you posted as her tour progresses!<\/p>\n

Ciao tutti!<\/p>\n

Sono in Svizzera!<\/p>\n

Today I went to a town called Benzona and visited three castles there. I think these pictures<\/a> represent a sampling of all three, but my battery began to die part way through so the first castle is more photographed. There was about a mile straight uphill between all the castles, even taking short cuts. The short cuts were these paths that went between the zig zags of the road, and ended up getting me into a slightly precarious situation.<\/p>\n

From the third castle getting back to the Statione, I saw a particularly untraveled path that looked suspiciously awesome and decided to try my luck. In a matter of moments I was lost, standing in the woods next to a chain linked fence protecting someone’s yard and a makeshift grape yard. I stopped to look at the map I picked up at information which conveniently showed me roads and not this untraveled path I was attempting to get myself off of. While studying the decidedly useless map, I glanced at the fence only to find that it was now the only thing separating me from a very large, unfriendly pooch. After a combination of running and tumbling down the hill, I found myself on an identifiable road and managed my way back to civilization, where the only animal I had to worry about was the bird I shared my lunch with. (No really, a bird sat on my table and ate from my bread while I munched the spaghetti!)<\/p>\n

I hope you are all having as much fun as I am!<\/p>\n
