I went for an early run on Sunday. The Weiss' home is in a rural part of Bern evidenced by the rich soil, fields of corn, cows and other wildlife.
This morning I saw a huge fox which studied me for a moment, then ran for his life. He was bigger than an desert coyote I often see in Arizona
South of Bern is the city of Thun, and a little further, the smaller city of Spiez. Hiking into the vineyards above the town gave us some breathtaking views.
It's almost harvest time! The grapes were lush on the vines.
