Wonder dog at Seeweg (May 31, 2014)

May 31, 2014.  Sachseln, Switzerland.  A picnic at Seeweg on the shores of the Sarnersee included more than food and a view of the lake.  A smart dog chooses Eleanor for continued entertainment.

There are no bugs in Switzerland.

There are no bugs in Switzerland
 

When we first arrived in Sachseln, we couldn't get over how pristine the flowers are. The plants all seem to love it here. There are no signs of bug attacks or disease like we are accustomed to at home.  Okay, I have to admit we did see some bugs eventually.  But apparently they are not allowed to eat any flower or vegetable plants.  Maybe it is the climate or maybe the Swiss are skilled gardeners of the…

The walking stick that wasn't.

Swiss Heartland Untour

The walking stick that wasn't.

May 28, 2014.  We had scheduled an overnight trip to Zermatt.  Since the train trip is a long one (3 hours 48 minutes including 3 train changes), we caught the early 6:15am train and brought our breakfast with us.  The breakfast was simple: banana, cheese, apfelstrudel and luke warm coffee in a child's metal water jug.  The water jug would later hold water for…

The Cappuccino Affair on Swiss Air Flight LX18 (June 4, 2014)



During our flight back to New Jersey the flight attendants came around with coffee or tea. Eleanor said "Coffee." When the flight attendant turned to me I said "Cappuccino." That broke her up with laughs and giggles. As she handed me a cup of coffee, I said "Ja! sehr gut cappuccino."…

When being blue made me happy.

3 Juni 2014. Today when Albert took us to Sarnen, we tried to find the shop window that had an edelweiss scarf.  Eleanor had spotted it the day before when the store was closed.  We finally found it. But the window display belonged to a dry cleaners. Albert asked the lady about the scarf. But I had to lead her outside to the store window to point out to what we were referring. There was a black and a blue "scarf" with edelweiss flowers decorating it. I poin…
