And Switzerland again

While in Switzerland, I stayed in Lausanne. Lausanne is on Lake Geneva across from France and about 30 minutes out of Geneva. I also found out that Lausanne is the location of the Olympic headquarters. Next time you are watching Jeopardy, you'll know the answer.
As promised, here are some pictures from Switzerland. This is the sunset over Lake Geneva. My last day there, we went swimming in the lake. It was freezing cold and the entire shore was rocks. It took me a while to build up the nerve to go into the ice cold water but I jumped in quickly but didn't stay in too long. Then a little girl and her dad were playing with a beach ball and it blew into the water. They were not wearing bathing suits so I just went in and retrieved the ball for them but it hurt like hell with the rocks and the cold water. I guess they were surprised because that's not a common thing to do around there and the guy told Gabi I was an extraodinary person for doing something like that. I thought it was an odd comment but it was complimentary.

This is a castle in Montreux, next to Lausanne. I took this picture while at another castle up on the mountain.

This is looking from downtown Lausanne. There are many views similar to this all over.

Switzerland was great. It is like the US. People actually work during the day and the city is modern, clean and safe. This was a much different experience than the other countries I visited in Europe. It would be a great place to live.
