Dents de Morcles, Pannex and Spoleto (Italy)

Dents de Morcles, Switzerland

In June of 2016, I did a lovely hike starting from Lavey and heading up towards the Dents de Morcles. Unfortunately, the snow line was still too low despite the hot sun so summiting was not an option that day.

Pannex, Switzerland

One of the great things about summer is having picnics and BBQs. I was introduced to the Swiss "picknick-grill"...a portable, one time use charcoal grill. This was my first time in Pannex and it was a beautiful spot and perfect for a picnic dinner. 



Incredible clouds that evening



Spoleto and Norcia, Italy

Before hopping to the other side of the Atlantic, I found myself traveling to Italy. Based in Spoleto, I spent three days exploring the neighboring area with friends who were vacationing there. It was beautiful. The food was delicious and the wine was amazing.

And now on to Norcia...




My accommodations in Spoleto weren't bad either

Midnight Sun - Norway

The purpose of this trip was to run the Midnight Sun Marathon in Tromso, Norway. While in Norway, we all did some sight-seeing. Beautiful fjords and scenery everywhere. My marathon was a success, a PR and a BQ at 3 hours 32 minutes.
