Visitors

My good friend from college, Lori, and her hubby, John, stopped by for a visit as they made their way through Europe. They spent a few days with us as they traveled from Italy to France. It was wonderful to see them. The day they arrived was John’s birthday, so we celebrated with a nice dinner of homemade California rolls and wine. We introduced them to Mövenpick ice cream for dessert. I think they enjoyed it even after all the gelato they consumed in Italy. The evening ended with fireworks in Lausanne that we could see from the comfort of our own balcony. The next day we sent them on a steamboat from Lausanne to the Château de Chillon. I met them after their tour of the château and then we headed into Montreux for the Jazz Festival. As we’ve experienced in previous years, not much jazz to be heard at the festival but we did find one free concert and enjoyed a few cold beers and some traditional Swiss cuisine (rösti).
