in the jura


Today I went hiking with my new 10 year-old friend (we'll also get a chance to spend a few days at the pool while he's in town). We took a full day hike up into the Jura mountains and found all sorts of bugs and flowers and even a chamoix grazing nearby. Unfortunately I know zero Italian, but he could speak enough English for us to get by, and now I know cima - summit that kept us hiking upwards.

And then came the whip-cream battle. I don't think Derek won this one...
