Yes, I took the hike up into the hills yesterday ... No, I didn't run around, twirling and singing about the hills being alive with the sound of music ... but I could have. It was really beautiful ... and very much like the opening scenes of the movie. Going up the hill I was in the sun, but then the path along the ridge was in the shade of the forrest, with a gentle breeze all along the way. After an hour and a half of tromping around, up and down, I had no problem sleeping last night!
The main meal here is at Midday, so supper is light. Well, last night after the soup, when the "entree" came round, I was intrigued. It was a slice of white bread with a pineapple ring on it, topped by a slice of cheese, then toasted in the oven till the cheese melted and slightly browned. It was interesting ... good ... but interesting. There were two per person. Try it sometime ...
Today's Midday Meal was a nice porkchop with risotto and braised fennel. I especially liked the braised fennel.
I think a Sunday nap is in order, but first I may do a web search for hotels in Krakow.
Tomorrow I'm going to visit Kloster Fahr, a monastery of nuns near Zurich, for the day. The Prioress from there spent a month with us at Saint Meinrad last Fall.
And as for those who want me to bring back Swiss chocolate ... I have one thing to say/ask: Do you REALLY think I'd be able to carry a stash of chcolate bars in my suitcase for another month, without eating them all myself?

Br. Charles the choce is wonderful over there and you keep talking about it we just had to keep trying for some.....
Br. Stephen would really really would like to try some.

The solution is so simple and obvious. Ditch the undies. Buy the chocolate and ship home in one of the suitcases immediately. Less to carry and no temptation.
The hills are alive with Swiss Chocolate......I was not the only crazy one who suggested ditching the undies......
I like the idea of shipping it back and you could always ship it to mom and dad's..dad won't eat it but I might!
