Spring break

---

My three best girlfriends from Amherst just came to visit me in Paris for their spring break. We had a fabulous time here for a few days then scooted off to beautiful Switzerland to stay with Teresa's wonderful swiss family who welcomed us all into their home and fed us cheese wine and chocolate in abundance. They also showed us around a bit. Here is some of what we saw.

the girls
that's lake neuchatel and the Jura behind them

the vineyard
Did I mention her uncle has a vineyard up the mountain? We hiked.

the vines
It was wonderful.

the vine
So was the wine. The mark is Cheyres, though I doubt they do very much exporting. It's a small vineyard.

ancient tree, ancient town
We played gnomes in the giant tree at the edge of town

castle at Estabayan
and damsel in distress at the castle

another cool tree
this one looked like it was slowly crawling across the lake, leaving a trail of roots behind it.

this is not a postcard
it's the view from a little ways up the mountain from the vineyard. unbelievable.

also i broke my nose
when i slammed it into the rim of the bathtub. you should be able to tell it's a little swollen, but it's doing alright now.

us on a little beach on the lake
it was so warm in the sun i even took off my sweater
