Ok it's spring but...

No need of all this rain to let us know :-) !
Some warmer days would be welcome...

Spring is finally here!

I love this season! There is light later in the evening, and in the air there is this wonderful smell... I cannot describe it, but I recognize it without doubt. And with this the town seems to awake again, people are walking around and are in a good mood.
What I like here is how quickly you can talk with someone in the street when you take the time to stop by a moment: an old grandma or an old grandpa, a small family or a father/mother with his/her child... it is really refreshing.

A day on the snow

Two Sundays ago, thanks to a friend, we discovered a nice and little snow resort for children, not so far away from Lugano, near the Gothard in Airolo-Luina it is totally not expensive, and really good for children that can practice quietly skiing and sliding. To find it, once in Airolo (exiting the motorway) you have to follow the (quite little need to be really attentive!) signs to the parking of the small resort.
We went there, had a sandwich, a pizza and something to drink. We had a small bob to go on the snow and had lot of fun! Our little one was a little frightened, but then she was happy throwing snow on everybody :-) There were lot of children between 2 and 12 even if the weather was not so good.
Well, the day had started so-and-so with a trip to Pin Pin Cavalin in Chiasso to discover it closed, but then ended really well!
