Week 3: Geographically challenged go Swiss!

Hello, dear Ladies! And any gentlemen passing by
We are rolling up our carpet for this travel and taking a train, they are really nice and much more reliable than flying carpets this part of the world! We'd be able to see amazing churches nestling on top of the seemingly unreachable mountains, deep gorges with filigree bridges connecting the steep cliffs either side, luscious valleys, and we are arriving here when the Swiss turn up dressed in red (and other colours) for the so called "Festa in Piazza" Every village gathers at its square to celebrate independence from nobody seems to remember who. The main idea would be having a meal in a huge improvised Swiss family with neighbours and friends, and then show your solidarity with the rest of Switzerland by lighting a bonfire on every mountain, with the little citizens having their own procession in the village with their little candles, like tiny precious fireflies who will later all gather to see the fireworks! It is going to be lovely! I will try and keep you in tune by reporting of the 1st of August celebrations on top of our Mountain over Lake Lugano! Here is the inspiration piece! Plus set your magic free and create! Be inspired by anything Swiss! You will have until the 7th of August to upload, and keep your eyes peeled for any unexpected surprises on the way around next week! Don't forget to upload to our gallery here.
