Gorge De l'Areuse

Sunday, our neighbour Matthew took us and his kids to Gorge De L'Areuse in the Val de Travers. It's a stunning, deep gorge in the middle of forest. There's a river with deep pools in places (can be dived into) and caves along the way. The walk can be quite nerve racking- thin trails, mud and bits of the edge falling away. Apparently, a few weeks ago a boy died while he was fooling around with his sibling! Well, anyway it was a lovely walk and the boys were troopers. They plodded along chatting and playing, although Toby doesn't like to hold hands or have anyone holding onto him... that's even more nerve racking. Here's a photie of one of the pools taken with my new, incredibly portable camera :)

Yikes, is that Allie peering over the edge of the cliff? I get edge sick (Walter can explain). How did you manage with Toby?

I can't believe you've had chocolate every night since you moved. I can't stop laughing about the bells. I imagine that's just what a toddler wants in his day, though, some way to tell time. Way to go Allie on reading the word GO!
