Today we started getting out and seeing more things. Even I slept through the night so I think that we’ve now all adjusted to the time. We went into Lausanne today (a city right next to Lac Leman – or Lake Geneva as some people call it) and visited a park there that has many of the traditional animals of Switzerland. Memo, Maria, and their grandkids Moira and Ezra went with us. We saw cows with bells, billy goats and long-haired pigs. There was also a play area for the kids and they had a ball. Then we climbed to the top of the Tour de Sauvabelin, a 35-meter wooden tower. We were a 328 meters above the lake, and it was a beautiful view of the lake, the Alps and the entire region.
Although the park and tower were great, the best part of the trip was the true European experience that the kids were able to participate in firsthand. The bathroom only had squatters for the girls, and Alex needed a little help. Unfortunately, Becky, who had to help her out, didn’t fare much better. Let’s just say that Becky wouldn’t be able to take her sandals back to the store even if she wanted to. Oh well, it’s all part of the European adventure.
