Locarno, Swiss Alps, Switzerland
Monday, 5/26/2014: It was a cloudy day so we made a last minute decision to take a train ride from Brig to Domodossola, Italy. There we changed to the panoramic FART(Ferrovie Autolinee Regionali Ticinesi) train. You might ask, what is so panoramic about a FART train? Well, it is the most picturesque ride through the Centovalli Valley region to Locarno, a city of 15,000 (62,000 with surrounding area). Even with an overcast day, it was the a picture perfect kodak trip. We were in Locarno for a late lunch, we had a quick look around and then headed back to Naters before night fall. Here are a few pictures of our train ride and Locarno:

What a beautiful area! And great photos too. Where are the hoards of tourists?
Probably coming in July?
If you want to see graffiti go to Naples. It is the grubbiest place we have been in and.they have even graffitied monuments.
Now I have heard it all-a train called a FART train!
