So now I'm looking for any info/ suggestions for Portugal for the wife and I. Leave in a couple weeks and ...

Back from our trip and had an amazing time.
The weather cooperated, especially in Switzerland. Only rained one of the five days we were in Switzerland. I think I could move to Lucerne. We did the canyoning Chli Schliere while in Interlaken and had a blast, would highly recommend to anyone.

I think you both have talked us into canyoning. We have been considering some outdoor adventure activity to add on during our time in Interlaken. We are leaning towards Canyoning Grimsel. My wife and I are both active runners and workout regularly. That being said anyone done the Canyoning Chli ...

We are just flying out of Milan on our last day, so don't plan to do much there. Will likely just grab dinner there on our last night and fly out the next morning.
My one concern for Switzerland right now, especially for our Interlaken 3 days is the weather. I'm hoping for enough clearing on a ...

You got that right, the original Leroy Mercer (John Bean) is the true legend... not that Oklahoma disc jockey who is a hack.

I agree, it's not the shoe by itself. Yet the feedback my body and legs would receive when training with a minimus shoe that helped me to make changes to my form.
I've enjoyed racing much more the past few yrs since making the switch....
