Thanksgiving en Suisse

A much needed break from book work: we spent the weekend at P&S’s home in Lausanne for a belated Thanksgiving en Suisse. The food was delicious, conversation stimulating and the company good fun!

Lausanne

In Lausanne, we caught up with my brother and sister-in-law who hosted us for the weekend. We explored the port of Ouchy, visited the Notre-Dame Cathedral and went shopping in the local farmer’s market. After a long walk through Vaud’s vineyards, we took the steamer back to Lausanne before dining at La Suite. Lausanne is beautiful, and it was great to see my brother and his wife settled into their new home.

Geneva

We explored Geneva’s Right Bank where we took a tour of the United Nations (the Human Rights room with its Spanish ceiling was the highlight), strolled through the Botanical Gardens and visited the Red Cross Museum. In the Old Town we saw St. Peter’s Cathedral, the Water Fountain and the Floral Clock before taking the train to Lausanne where we visited my brother and sister-in-law who moved to Switzerland a month ago.
