Swiss report

We just arrived in Paris. But first, a Swiss report:

1) Switzerland is lovely. With the possible exception of seeing Mount St. Helens from a helicopter last summer, the Alps are the most naturally beautiful sight I've seen in my life.

2) Switzerland is expensive. REALLY expensive. We're talking $5 cups of coffee and $8 sausages. Paris will seem like a deal!

3) Rösti is good. REALLY good. We had fondue, too, but the rösti (a dish of hash-browned potatoes and onions with various other ingredients like bacon and truffle oil) was my favorite. Of course, there are also the chocolates and wonderful breads. If I look pregnant when I return home, it's merely a bread, chocolate, and cheese baby.

Merci, danke, prego and thanks for continuing to read our blog. We miss all of you but we're having a great time.

Lovely! It's wonderful living vicariously through you....your blogs and pix must be put in a book someday for your children. Miss you! Love, N:)

I've been playing a game with your blog, trying to guess which one of you wrote it before I get to far into each entry. Normally not to hard. This one had me completely fooled until right at the end.

Oh MAN Roesti is the BEST. I continue to be extremely jealous of your travels. Also? I can't believe you are STILL THERE! Can't wait to hear more about it :)
