Today was a long walk through a pretty Swiss valley and a few tiny villages.

It ended with a fairly vertical hike up to Champex Lac, a tiny town on a mountain lake. We had a picnic and then were forced (really) into a restaurant, Mimi’s lounge, for a small carafe of wine and some pretzels by an hour long thunderstorm.

The afternoon was spent in our hotel watching the rainbows and the Olympics. Dinner was at the hotel and lovely.

Not a bad day.
