Another beautiful day for hiking. 1000' up a cable car from Sils Maria, a village just south of St. Moritz. 8 miles/1500' of hiking through snow fields & alpine ponds & streams to a frigid lake for picnic lunch. Then back down the cable car just beating a torrential thunder storm - the first rain since leaving Zurich.
Unique Swiss meal for dinner - Raclette. A 2 lb. block of cheese is melted & browned under a heat lamp in the center of the table. The molten cheese is then scraped over new potatoes & eaten with a variety of condiments including sweet pickels, pickeled onions, tomatoe slices, etc.. really much more appitizing than it sounds.
Tomorrow is a free day. Planning to ride the Bernina Express ofer a high pass to the Italian side of Switzerland.
Mmmmm...hot cheese and pickles. Glad I'm not sharing a train car with you. Happy hiking!
