More photos of our holidays

Steve 31. October, 2007

I’ve just posted some more photos of our visit to Pete & Christiane in Connecticut. On our first morning there, a family of deer wandered into the garden to feed. The two kids (the deer ) started playing and running around, which was fun to watch. I managed to get a few photos.

We’re back!

Those are my boarding cards for this trip! Zürich -> Boston -> Denver -> Atlanta/Greenville -> New York -> Boston -> Zürich! We’re now back home, tired and suffering from temperature shock: it’s only 3°C in Switzerland, and we’ve been enjoying around 25°C for the past three weeks.
Our friends Hans and Hanni collected us from the airport this morning, which was [...]

Sitting on her back porch is an impressive experience for us Europeans: it overlooks a wooded hollow which is a home for all sorts of wildlife; during the day, [...]

Sunny Colorado

Following warmer than expected weather in Connecticut, Colorado surprised us even more with temperatures in the mid-to-high 20s (Celcius!), and blue skies every day. It was great to visit Mike and Chris Steele again, where I stayed for several weeks in 2005. We had (more) good talks, great meals, and fun together. Mike took me [...]

Just missed the Fall Colours

Steve 19. October, 2007

Arriving in Connecticut to visit the Burkhards was quite a surprise; I was expecting cooler weather. It was warm during the day, but quite cool at night. We met Daniel for the first time, who was born in 2005, soon after our previous visit. He’s an active 2-year-old, and has quite remarkable climbing talents!
We had [...]
