Switzerland

We saw most of Switzerland in a car. It is officially day 3 of our trip. We left Germany before 6am so that we could meet Paul's parents in the French Alps, litterally on the border of Switzerland. It was a 6 hour drive to La Chapelle d'Abondance, the little Alpine village. We did it in 6 1/2 because my inner GPS system had a mini-failure. We quickly got back on track after detouring through the Swiss countryside and with Paul's skill at speed.
Our lunch and experience at Les Cornettes (the restaurant/inn) was so fabulous, I didn't take photos. I was too busy taking it all in. You can see some at their website: www.lescornettes.com. We had a traditional French meal that lasted over 2 hours and had 4 delicious courses: meat and veggies, main entree', cheese course, and dessert, with herbal tea afterward. Ahhh, it was heaven.

After the meal, we headed to Lake Geneva or Lac Le'man. Paul's parents, Diana and Nolan, took us to a quaint little village on the lake, Yvoire (I think that's the name). It had beautiful old buildings that people lived in or had little shops. I found a beautiful glass pen; it's from Italy, but hey, we got it Europe. It was my mother's day gift from Paul. Thank you sweetie. He has great taste. =)
