A pilgrimage of sorts.
I am not religious (unless you count flowers), but I grew up Catholic and sometimes miss its rituals.
I also love beer.
This week I stayed at a monastery/hotel/brewery about an hour outside Zürich — Kloster Fischingen. These days I am working through a massive grief and craved the retreat and comforts of such a place. It also happened to be on the Switzerland portion (!) of the Camino to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
Photography is my meditation, and I imagined taking photos of the grounds — only to realize at the train station on the way there that… I forgot my camera! It would be a monastic stay indeed. Of course I had my iPhone, so I’ve just spent some time editing these photos into submission, as I used to do years ago.
Here are some simple snaps from the short trip. It was very nice and I have a new favorite Swiss beer.





Wishing you a peaceful Sunday and last full day of summer here in central Europe.
Until next time!
