Woo-hoo.. wooooo-hooooo... it's so much fun when friends visit us and we've been seriously blessed with visits from Murray (11-15June) and Tracy (19-22June).
Murray was solo and became our very first house guest (HE said the sofa bed was tres, tres comfortable). On Thursday and Friday he and Wonda went on adventures close to Montreux during the day and then all of us indulged in the finest wines, cheeses, saucisson (sausage that wonda didn't touch), and bread that this region offers. Ken caught up with them on Friday evening after they had spent the afternoon in a wine education center (Oenotheque). We headed to Lutry for the LAVAUX EXPRESS - a 'train' towed by a tractor disguised as a 'train engine'. what a hoot! And the Lavaux wine region is absolutely spectacular with its terraced vineyards. Saturday we headed first to Gruyere (http://www.hrgigermuseum.com/) and had a pleasant beverage at the local alien bar. Then in a random order of events we had lunch on the train to Paleuviex, and an evening in Bern (lovely terrace by the weir). Sunday was more relaxed and we got a late start to Geneva... not much there to see really... before we said a fond farewell to Murrski.
Tracy was travelling with her beau Sandy (yes, he does exist) and her buddy Lisa. More tourist stuff that was even more wonderful thanks to gorgeous weather (although Sandy wilted on Saturday). Lisa went to Geneva on Saturday but we kept at it on Saturday (Rochers de Naye and the Fete au Village in Veytaux) and a wonderful picnic lunch near the top of the hill above Sion.
We have a break for a few days ... sort of. Wonda starts work tomorrow and Ken's project deadlines are looming.
Love to all, W&K
