Well, another great day in Europe. Initially, I was a little bummed about leaving the mountains and coming to a city (Lausanne, pop. 150,000 to 300,000 (greater Lausanne area), but Lake Geneva is a beautiful area. Today was much clearer and we could actually see the mountains across the lake. We took a lake cruise (sounds spoiled doesn't it? especially since we were in first class) which was simply amazing. We could see little towns scattered all around the lake side, and the views of the hills, mountains, and other interesting areas were simply impressive.We took the lake cruise to another castle, which if you read my earlier blog, I have a strong liking for. This castle was amazing. It sat on the lake shore and was simply a beautiful example of medival architecture. I will post some more pictures in a separate blog.
The other highlights of my day were taking a pedal boat out on the lake and walking around the old town of Lausanne. The boat ride was fun and relaxing, and this is yet another European town filled with history.
Well, that is all for now. It is getting late here. I am looking forward to tomorrow; we are returning to the mountains. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate. Take care everyone.

Great photos of Castles -- Glad you are having such a fun time.
Eric -- If you are still in Luzern check out the Lion carved in the rock somewhere in the city. You were there as a child and we have the picture of you and your brother by it. It is the symbol of the city. Love, MOM
