2012 May and June – Eating and Walking Through Switzerland!

Hi! We are glad you stopped by! We completed our adventure Eating and Walking our way through Switzerland and enjoyed every minute of it. Well, it could definitely be better if the Stinky Shoes weren’t so stinky…

We have two different sets of updates going on: one from The Mature Set and another from The Youngsters. Once you get to each of the sites, click on different dates in the calendar to see our daily logs! Another option is to scroll down this page and click on the links we have provided below.
