Off to Switrzerland



We trained from Paris to Vevey Switzerland on October 3. After we arrived at Larry and Anne-Lydie's we had lunch and then took a short drive to Chateau Gruyère. The chateau was located at the top of a hill surrounded by a medieval village in the mountainous Gruyère region (known for it's cheese). We walked through the chateau and then hiked around the little village surrounding it stopping in a cafe for meringue's and tea before we left. Johnny has discovered his new favorite dessert!

Our second day in Switzerland we took a boat with Uncle Larry to a little French village actross Lake Geneva. We spent the afternoon hiking around the little village that is celebrating it's 600 year anniversary! There were several nice shops and restaurants and a fantastic chateau where the same family has been living since the 17th century.

As it was on our first visit in May of 2004, Switzerland was a amazing, we can't wait to go back!
