Winter is not yet over

Winter is not yet over. Yes, astronomically speaking, it’s still Winter and it snowed here two nights ago. I actually have been waiting for it. I have wanted to take pictures and videos of Weggis in 360 degrees from the Hilltop in Winter time. But I normally don’t go to the Hilltop during Winter as it is really cold on that area especially if the wind is strong.

A weekend with my childhood friend

On October 25, 2007, my jetsetter :) childhood friend ever Mimi arrived in Switzerland for just a weekend. I always asked her to come here but she had been here twice so she opted to go to other places and met some other friends. She was always on a business trip to Germany and this time she decided to visit us, instead of going to Spain, Scotland, Austria, Italy, France, or :) whatever. I was ecstatic of course, as I was not able to go to the Philippines this year. She lives in Singapore now but we always see each other in the Philippines in April every year.

I didn’t fetch her, Erich did. When she asked me before, calling from Germany, if I will fetch her, I told her that I can’t. I told her that I needed to clean the house and she laughed crazily. I told her, of course I was cleaning because she was arriving, and we both laughed. She volunteered to help later. I told her, she was my visitor so she didn’t need to clean but she can cook. :)

If only we didn’t have to go somewhere else the next day, maybe we didn’t sleep anymore. We just chatted like crazy. But then, she was staying until Sunday so we still had a lot of time to talk.

Another lovely Saturday in Autumn

It’s Autumn and for the month of October, it was gloomy and foggy in our area as our place is near the lake, quite different in Valais/Wallis where the sun was shining as we were there on Saturdays, the first and second week. Last Saturday, August 27, 2007, was another fine and lovely day in Valais. We went to Zermatt, Switzerland just to see the Matterhorn, via Furka Pass and Grimsel Pass.

Mount Pilatus and the clouds

Everyday of my life while living on the hilltop area of Weggis, I have seen colorful cloud formations just above Mt. Pilatus, the Dragon Mountain of Switzerland. I have seen how beautiful the various colors and shades of the clouds were, especially when the sun set and when the sun rose.
