Tour de Schweiz

We started out by visiting our relatives in Oberentfelden, then drove to Bellwald ( http://www.bellwald.ch/gemeinde/index.php) to enjoy the mountains and snow and celebrate New Years.
The Grompe family has had a cabin in Bellwald since 1972 and its one of our favorite spots on earth.

Markus- I always enjoy your photo journals when you travel, an I'm glad to see that you do get in front of the camera once in a while.
