A ride to a view (and pancakes)

While our visitors were here from Michigan, we rode the gondola up the hill for lunch (and to see the crofters fly--see the post below).  We had kaiserschmarren (scrambled crepes/pancakes), my new favorite regional treat, for lunch, and enjoyed some nice views. As is the case with many cafes and gasthausen, there was a little sandbox for kids.  This one had a personal sized gondola for transporting sand!  Though we didn't hike to the top, we did hike up to the seilbahn (gondola) station on one of our favorite village paths.  The toddler is getting pretty surefooted in Italy!
