July 3, 2008
We left Southern France today and spent most of the day driving back to Switzerland. We’ve had nice weather almost all of the trip, but today it rained pretty much all day. A few times we drove through some of the hardest thundershowers I have ever been in. A couple of times, I almost pulled over on the highway because the rain was so bad. But we made it safely through.
We didn’t go back to the same place in Switzerland this time. We have a friend a little farther north who had been on vacation, but now she’s back. So we went to the town of Bienne, and we’re spending the night with a crazy lady named Liz. She’s lived in Switzerland most of her life, but she was born in Ireland. She says whatever comes to her head, and she speaks a mile a minute regardless of whether it’s in English, French, German or Swiss German (even a little Italian as well). She has a big heart, and she’d give you the shirt off her back, but you might have to wait a half an hour until she lets you say a word to ask for it. The kids didn’t know what to make of her at first, but after a while they really warmed up to her. Becky and I agreed that Dee would do a great impersonation of her; we just have to work on getting them together.
