Day hike

This region is full of tourists. The "doing" sort. The ones here to hike, and not the groups that will bomb all your landscape photos by their mere presence, or the sort that is out to get piss drunk. I love seeing old couples up here, from all over Europe and beyond. The ones that haven't lost their youthful energy. I love the athletic, good looking young people. Everyone is so friendly up the trails as well, there's almost a standard compulsory greeting or occasional nod that every hiker is expected to give to the passerby.

We spent the day hiking up the Swiss Alps across to one of the nearby little towns, Furri, though it rained quite heavily from midday as was forecasted for today and tomorrow. It was great to experience some cooler weather after all these weeks. Didn't take away from its beauty nonetheless.
