our Swiss adventure

One of my very best friends all the way back from high school, just moved to Switzerland with her husband and two girls.  We somehow managed to get away this summer to go see them.  Ahhh..the BEAUTY of that place.  It was absolutely breathtaking, every direction you turned.  It was a trip of a lifetime.  I imagined myself shopping at flea market after flea market, and loading up on all kinds of treasures.  But instead (sigh).., found my self lounging around the lake most afternoons, eating lots of delicious food, wine and of course, chocolate.  As a matter of fact, that is the only thing I managed to bring back home with me.  LOTS of chocolate.



Nevertheless, I would change not a thing.  

Here are a few pictures from our adventure...

The three amigos..our daughter in the center.

Lounging on the shores of Lake Geneva. The girls decided there

were probably mermaids in that lake.  And affectionately named

them "The Mermaids of Lac Leman".  This is a sculpture they made

for them.

Farmers Market across the border in France.  A food lovers paradise..

Buttery, flaky, almond-y goodness!

Gruyere

And what better place to have fondue and a meat platter?

My husband and I enjoying a little after dinner limoncella.

And of course, walking through Geneva, the girls had

to stop and observe a fashion show in one of the shop

windows...such fashionistas.
