    Just a couple of weeks before I leave for Switzerland. Thanks to all your help, I feel confident that I have developed an excellent itinerary.

    I have read that Lugano has many grottos serving traditional food in a special environment. We would like to sample a couple of them. Does anyone have any favorites? We love good food and always like to eat local specialties, however, horse, donkey and offal don’t sound too appetizing! If anyone has any favorite places in Lucern, Lugano and Murren, I would love to hear about them too.

    Thanks
