Montreux

Not a whole lot happening this week...Soccer fever is at a high...and much seems to shut down when a game starts...Flags hanging from balconies highlight local alliances...pretty diverse!

the girls went swimming today in Ouchy...We started out by riding into Lausanne and looking for a new bathing suit for Brenna...the best price we found was 110 swiss francs so so much for that...The girls managed with their existing wardrobe .. it was nice but the water was so cold that Aubrey had to get out...she couldn't breathe she got so cold...so I guess they sunbathed more than swam.

I wandered out further east looking at bikes in bike shops and ended up riding out to Montreux...it sure is beautiful...rode up to the Chateau de Chillon...a beautiful castle that inspired the poem "The Prisoner of Chillon"...Will have to take the tour sometime. I like my road bike but sure do miss having nice x-country wheels...


Tomorrow we plan to take a ferry out to Yvoire France...hopefully it will stop for us this time...sure was a bummer on last attempt watching it sail on by!

Cheers!

Dude,
I can't believe you didn't reference Deep Purple's song, Smoke on the Water . . . "We all went out to Montreaux, on the Lake Geneva shoreline . . ."
