As in the previous years we are spending Christmas with our families in Switzerland. We left sunny California for rainy, snowy and cold Switzerland on December 10th.
The welcome we got from our loved ones was more than compensating for the bad weather though!

This year we didn’t do any big tours. Instead we spent the summer months in Las Cruces, NM with our friends and helped them build a huge koi pond.

Then in fall we had the kids in San Diego for a week and, besides a lot of other things, we did introduce them to the salty ocean. It was a joy watching them.

Next year we hope to be more active with traveling again and already are planning our first trip in March with Marco’s brother and his spouse when they come visiting us.

But before we make any further plans we would like to thank you for your interest in our ventures and pictures and wish you all Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Enjoy the time with your families and loved ones.

Jackie & Marco
