Muerren, part II...and Fasnacht too
We love Muerren. We went back again, over the Fasnacht holiday, as promised. The photos are here, album titled Muerren Redux. We made it up to the Schilthorn again this time, and managed to catch a few minutes without clouds - so there are some photos from up there this time. Scott took some skiing photos with his phone as well.
We escaped 90% of the Fasnacht festivities, and caught just the last day, under our balcony mostly - but I also wandered around the town a bit for some more close-up photos. They are here, called 06 Fasnacht album.
Hope you enjoy them.
Oh, and what I should have also mentioned (thanks, JA, for reminding me) is that friends went with us again. My friend Molly, who used to work with me (but just moved to Paris last week for a new job - weekend breaks to Paris soon to ensue!), Rosemary and Craig, who both work with me (and Craig is a former Hausmann as well, and Scott walks their dogs for them), our friend Martin who's an expat who works for another company in Swizzy, and Carmen, my old friend and roommate from NYC who now lives in London. This is Carmen's second visit, we're glad she pops over from London! And she's such a talented knitter - the woman knit me a whole hat on the way from Basel to Muerren, in the back seat of the car with two dogs hanging over her the whole time. Only about a two-hour trip, and now I have this groovy wool hat that is in stripes of grey, charcoal and black - how cool is that?! Love it.

Ooo, curling with rosy-cheeked locals. Fun! I wish I could share a mug of hot chocolate with mini-marshmellows with you guys!
How nice to see Carmen's bright and shining face! It's been a long time.
Yeah, another one of the Chelsea girls!
Loved the photos -- the mountains are just breathtaking.
