La Liberté


Last Sunday we cruised around Lac Léman (Lake Geneva) on La Liberté, often times referred to as ‘the pirate ship’ by us. Four families got together to partake in this farewell activity for the Elko family (sniff, sniff). The kids enjoyed exploring the ship, and the adults enjoyed the scenery and the beverages. We lucked out with the weather. There seemed to be a big rain cloud following us around the lake but it never caught us.

A great time was had by all; however, I discovered afterwards that not everyone’s expectations had been met with the pirate ship experieince. The other day Jen and I were walking on the lake path, and we pointed out the ship to her son, Ben. Under his breath he mumbled, ‘There no pirates on it.’ He was expecting pirates on board! The little guy was probably waiting the entire ride for pirates to show up. Darn, I should have made Matt dress up as one.
