Lovely Lovely Switzerland

I love Switzerland. I had the trip of a lifetime. How could I be so blessed? Thank you, Thank you to all that made it possible. Wonderful! Marvelous! Beautiful! Lucky Me!

A few of my favorite things

Bike riding through the cobblestone streets of the old city in Zurich.

The clocks on the steeples,
and the bells ringing
from the cathedrals and
churches.

Kolby singing in the churches
and cathedrals particularly
the church in Ticino. Loved it!

The fountains all over Switzerland. The water is wonderful
to drink. The water pressure unreal. I loved getting my water served in a wine glass half full with no ice.

Three wonderful people - Werner, Susie, and Robert.

The Deli - Oh so good!

Sorbet - Grapefruit,
lime, and melon.
Grapefruit is my favorite.

Tomato with buffalo mozzarella.

Birthday Ship Ride

For my birthday I got a ship ride down Lake Zurich to a beautiful castle and a marvelous dinner!

Luzern

Luzern is a popular tourist city in Swtzerland. It is very beautiful. We ate at a great lakeside seafood restaurant.

Liechtenstein and Austria

We drove home from Italy through
these two countries. The green countryside is spectacular.

Lake Como

Lake Como in Italy is Spectacular. The pictures do not do it justice.

We ate a wonderful meal on the Lakeside across from the Bellagio.

Castle of Pavone

Outside the window views the Cathedral and city.

Spoiled rotten! We stayed in a 1000 year old Castle. What an unbelievable treat!

The Land of My Forefathers

San Germano Chisone. The Justet and other Valdese ancestor's homes. Unfortunately the museum was closed
as there was alot of history here.

Stressa

The first place we stopped in Italy was Stressa,
where we had a wonderful meal, at a most beautiful
hotel/restaurant. We looked out into the lake to two
little islands. So Beautiful!!!!!
