One thought on “Winter’s end. And the Alps.

  1. Welcome back to the blog! Your photos are beautiful and they make me want to know even more about where you live and the places you are visiting. Try using the DIVE technique recommended in the while abroad assignment section. With this technique, you describe what you see, hear, observe, investigate to find out more, verify by talking to the locals or checking out reliable resources, and then explain what you learned to us. For example, I would love to know more about the Alpine summit in Lenzerheide or unique facts about Hügelheim where you live. Michele
